Title: Do Unions Fail Women?
Topic: Unions Fail Women

Discussed by Carrie Lukas
with Independent Women’s Forum (www.IWF.org)

Carrie Lukas, Managing Director with the Independent Women’s Forum, makes a bold statement: Unions fail women today. Do you agree?

Do unions prevent flex-time, part-time, and tele-commuters? Should unions represent these modern workers?

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, less than 12 percent of American workers now belong to a union – down from 20 percent in 1983. More than half of union workers are now government employees. So, when union bosses negotiate with elected officials, are they trading votes for higher pay and better benefits at the expense of the taxpayers? Send us your comments.
