    Not sure if the youtube title was changed but it reads “Can Unions Make a Comeback? With Hamilton Nolan”. A much less hostile title. The video is also over an hour long.

    I only watched the first 15 minutes. They talk about how union support in the US is as high as it was in the 1950s but union membership is the lowest its ever been. In the 50s 1 in 3 US workers were a union member. It is now 1 in 10 despite 60% of workers having favourable views on unions. They talk about how this disparity could be with the major reason stated that companies have been making union busting a top priority causing it difficult for people to organize even if they support it.
