Interestingly, while growth of unions' memberships, power and influence is anemic (at best) in most sectors.... it remains robust in the public sector, where wages and benefits tend to be at levels that mere commoners can only dream about. You can learn more about the lacluster contribution that this significant portion of the workforce generates at http://www.downsizinggovernment.com/pages/2/index.htm

I was an aviation weatherman in Alaska from 1978 to 1985. Without union representation, I could not work there... Alaska is a "right to work" state. In 1985 the union assigned fry cooks to do this highly technical job, thus eliminating me and numerous other trained weathermen. I was 3 months from being vested for full pension benefits and lost all. Senator Stevens was a friend of the union; a union letter at the time featured a picture of Stevens on the cover shaking hands with then union president Jesse Carr.
Studies have shown that in 1986, more people were killed in the state of Alaska in air crashes than in the entire history of Alaskan aviation. The final analysis was that these crashes were caused not by bad weather, but by poor weather observations. This study was available on the Internet some years ago, but I have since not been able to find it. This in itself I find to be very curious.
