The unions were greatly contributory or responsible for those regulations being formulated.

You're right, the unions have done alot for workers in this country over the years, the worker is well-protected, so the purpose of a union has decreased markedly in todays world.

Except that there is an overt renewal of attack on workplace regulations starting up now, under the guise of "job creation need". So the unions better stick around.
