All of which raises the question: Given the post-Reagan assault on the
earning power and dignity of blue-collar jobs, why aren't more people
signing union cards? Why haven't the marginal and disenfranchised in
the workforce wised up?

I think they will wise up. The American worker is heading for some
lean times I'm afraid.

The pendulum has swung WAY too far in favor of the fat cats.

Can't the blue collars see the screwing their taking with these
illegals flooding the labor market and the completely lopsided
trade imbalances we have with these crappy and corrupt third world
nations ??

How much longer will the blue collar buy this Rush Limbaugh utopian
crappola ?

When will the American worker find pride again in his/her trade and
an honest days work for an honest days wage ?

Apparently never. They've let it slide this far with little or no
resistance or change of behavior. Just like the lazy slugs who don't even
work think they're entitled to their checks, workers in America think
they're entitled to a lifelong job, GREAT benefits, and retirement packages,
and all they have to do is make it past probation.
