I think you're mistaking my comments as pro-union, they're not. It's one of the few areas in which I agree with the Republicans. I very much thank them for their systematic destruction of them.

Nonetheless, that's what they've done. Unions as a whole are much less powerful today than they were 30 years ago, even though some have grown stronger.

Grocery was one area of retail largely unionized. Some still exist under the UFCW, but are being cannibalized by non-union department stores such as Wal-Mart and Target which now both offer groceries.
