> since pensions work only if the Company or Union is growing

There’s a name for a scheme like this—-pyramid.




Well, that’s a pretty interesting connection. If you look here, besides one or two states, every state is much much larger than it was 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, and 20 years ago. So, it’s not shocking or absurd to imagine state populations continuing an upward trend and therefore, more people, and therefore, without anyone passing union busting or other anti-union laws and regulations, you would expect union membership in most sectors to grow and have plenty of data to back it up. This isn’t like Mary Kay or Noni Juice or whatever where you have to sell someone on the promise very hard or demand some upfront investment to pay the current membership. Just wait around and people will be born.
