On the contrary, I think management has way too much power right now and workers rights are disappearing rapidly - just look at how many of the people fortunate enough to have a job have to work 60+ hour weeks these days. Some unions got a little power hungry and needed to modify their actions, but the pendulum has swung too far the other way and the unions are needed for balance.
