I just wanted to say that this article is one of the best I have read about evolving American economy. America's middle class is eroding day-by-day, and although unions are not perfect, we don't have a better alternative to balance the interested of the workers vs. investors (not even management- they are arguably worse off than labor in many cases).

Anyhow,
regards for a great article that I have been passing around to colleagues,
