Membership in labor unions is dropping, but it is certainly not due to any opposition by the NLRB. The opposition comes from workers who are increasingly aware of the problems that monopoly bargaining by arrogant union officials bring.

While union membership continues to decline, the political and financial power of the union dons increases. Because of the massive increases in the level of union dues and compulsory fees levied on workers, unions are able to finance the campaigns of their political lackeys and dictate the positions that their minions take on public policy issues, no matter how harmful those policies are to union members, other workers and the society in general.

Yes, there are some terrible employers. However, the remedy for an abusive and corrupt employer is not an abusive and corrupt union.
