Since the early 1980s, labor unions have faced catastrophic attacks from corporate America. While many unions have been defeated, teachers' unions still remain, in a crumbled form, as some of the last vestiges of American unionism. Why have teachers' unions, and unions in general, experienced significant declines in membership and political power? What can you do to help? In conversations with experts and union leaders, we contemplate the answers to these questions.
