Marketplace just did a piece yesterday about how union membership has fallen to 1930's levels, and may fall further as younger professionals in growing industries have a perception of the union model as obsolete. I wonder if agreements and practices such as these, if escalated, would lead to a new union model? I can't shake the idea that there's little difference between the engineers of our grandfather's age and the engineers of today other than labor scarcity.
