Survey name: Labor-Day Poll: Unions & Incentives
Poll Release: September 2007 Week #1

In the spirit of Labor-Day, a poll was conducted for Law Enforcement, Corections, fire-service, school and legal personnel on their opinions regarding the historical and current role that Unions have in shaping modern labor wages, policies and law. The poll also asked what single incentive people feel is the most important to them.

Responses:

Responses for "Other" included...

They WERE vital to shaping labor laws. They still play some role. But the overzealous mentality has seen the demise of the steel, textile, and some airline industry. Without the clout to put a stop to shipping work out of country their importance has lost its punch.
