From WSJopinion: Twenty-first century American labor relations are starting to look like they belong in 20th-century Europe, write Michael J. Lotito and Michael Saltsman
Twenty-first century American labor relations are starting to look like they belong in 20th-century Europe. Labor leaders, including Service Employees International Union President Mary Kay Henry, are endorsing sectoral bargaining, a type of collective bargaining that imposes standards across industries—rather than company by company—for workplace conditions, benefits and wages.
Ms. Henry calls sectoral bargaining the “standard practice” in European countries, advocating its use in the U.S. But as currently envisioned in California, this strategy constitutes a dangerous overreach of state interference across U.S. industries.
