Summary

An article on Britain’s 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.

Strongly Supported Conclusions

The newspaper has not established a compelling reason to think that union strength is declining.
