Power Elite?
Well stated, I thought I was the only one still reading C. Wright Mills and William Domhoff. Where are the moderate voices of the Power Elite /Ruling Class on this issue, are they silent because they have withered away during these last 30 years? The agreement was that unions would be used to marginalize radicalism within labor, because the Power elite, wished: 1) stability for profit extraction, 2) a bigger government- so that agencies could be co-opted more easily, and 3) to blunt socialistic and more radical movements. Are they really that sure they have won the day?
