If employer greed is not dead is the time of unions past?

I keep reading about the very high ups in companies getting 30% wage increases and yet workers and the country suffer as jobs and factories are sent overseas. When China has all the manufacturing in their country how will we be able to produce war materials in case of a conflict like ww2. Think about it people...burger flipping and paper pushing won't cut it.

You bring up a very important point . It's true unions have lost a large majority of the strength they once held in this country. I think it's largely due to corporate political donations so the politicians now side with the corporations while just speaking to pacify the union memberships . President Reagan had a large part in the downfall of our unions I believe . We can no longer trust politicians to side with the average Joe union member when most of their contributions come from major business . That is leading to the eventual downfall of unions in America. I for one am certainly not comfortable with sub contracting our industrial might out to another country .

China? They've laid off 130 MILLION people over the last 16 years - put THAT in your pipe and smoke it!!!

"...employer greed..."? That's a dead-giveaway, buddy - you are a member of a rapidly-shrinking minority; don't be surprised if you have less and less traction as time moves on.
Employer greed is not dead. However in a free market economy, the supply and demand of workers available makes unions unnecessary.

If an employer isn't paying the market wage for type of labor, then they won't be able to find that labor, because that labor will go work somewhere else.

Just like every other commodity, labor works just fine when subject to the laws of supply and demand.

Unions were necessary when employers were able to band together for the purposes of lowering wages. That ability was removed by anti-trust legislation decades ago, and has obsoleted that actual reason to have unions.
I really have to agree with you, in addition if no one is making any money how are we going to buy things to make the economy better.
The world has changed quite a bit since world war II. Two words: Nuclear weapons. Armed conflict is no longer an option for a dictator who would dominate the world. It's all about economics now. Who can produce the cheapest and who has the means to consume what is produced. I agree with you it certainly cheapens the idea of humanity, but armed conflict is just not in the cards anymore.
If a conflict the magnitude of world war II were to happen again, there could be no winners. It's simply game over.
you could use some people power there.
We already can't make the steel for many military ships, or machine the huge parts necessary to build them. But at the same time we protect sugar mega-farmers from foreign competition because sugar is a vital war-time product. But - the largest sugar corp in the united states isn't even owned by americans. Go figure.
