Restoring Union Density and Workplace Democracy
Restoring union density in the United States is possible by reviving the Wagner Act and considering sectoral bargaining. The Wagner Act has been distorted by Taft Hartley, Republican-dominated labor relations boards, and Supreme Courts. In Europe, joining an industry automatically makes you part of the union, leading to a healthier process of negotiations. The next generation of center-left populists could push for a new Wagner Act to restore workplace democracy. There is a common cause that the book serves as an olive branch to the left, and the reader finds it interesting and sympathetic.
