Elaine Bernard: Private sector union membership has plummeted while the public sector has increased - Part 1

Elaine Bernard is the executive director of the Labor and Worklife Program at Harvard Law School. Bernard's writings often focus on workers in the telecommunications industry, and the role technological change plays in altering work. In the last several years, she has publicly discussed how advancing technology will change how labor unions function (especially in regard to member-to-member and union-member communication and organizing).

    • The OLIGOPOLY that rules America succeeded in smashing the labor movement during the incompetent and disastrous R. Reagan regime --a regime which presided over the largest transfer of wealth upward to the ruling oligarchs in the history of the United States. Proof of that wealth transfer UPWARD can be found in the multitudinous stats at the Bureauf of Labor Statistics, the Census Bureau, and the US Department of Commerce - BEA. At the same time, the Fairness Doctrine was neutered. In two near fatal blows, LABOR was deprived both voice and viability.

      It is time for the people to TAKE THIS COUNTRY BACK from about ONE PERCENT of wealthy elites who own MORE than about 90 percent of the rest of the population combined.
