An article on Britainβs unions agreed that union strength was declining. The article cited the decreasing number and size of strikes. In a modern society, calling strikes is evidence of a weak negotiating position for a union. Strong unions do not need to call strikes. Strong unions can focus on working with others in the labor market to achieve goals.
The newspaper has not established a compelling reason to think that union strength is declining.
