As trade becomes more 'free,' labor unions are still
restricted from organizing in most
countries.

The only thing I see that is global in all this are these
essays and books, not the facts. Now, the USA has Unions,
you can organize here, Unionize, but Unions have lost most
of the power they worked and died for. Now, Union membership
is around 13%, again check my numbers they might be dated.
Why is Union membership down?  Is there a connection? What's
that crazy man, Pat Buhcanon, isn't he the one that makes
these arguments or the other loon, Ross Perot? Yeah, they
do. They believe in globalization, I don't. I don't think
it's a fact. It's propaganda. Regionalization we have. So,
does trade with Canada and Mexico have an effect on Unions?
What's the deal?
