The only group that is powerful enough to negotiate with organized money(corporations) is organized labor.

Which is most important Capital, Labor, Management ?
When Benjamin Franklin was asked that question, he answered :
"Which is the most important leg of a three legged chair ? "

Labor, because without it you have no use for the other two.
@glennlab "Which is the most important leg of a three legged chair ? "
@FearlessFly It is not a true three legged chair since labor can exit and does without either capital or management
@glennlab "labor can exit"'
If, by that, you mean go-on-strike, BOTH capital and management have historically demonstrated that they too have their own "machinations/powers".
IMO, unions are a good (the only) check-and-balance against the other two.
ymmv
@FearlessFly Labor can exist, exit is not what I typed, merely what the site decided I wanted to type. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Oklahoma passed Right to Work in 2001. Our only general motors plant closed in 2006 and went to Indiana.
Manufacturing plants supposedly prefer Right to Work states yet GM left Oklahoma even though we are very centrally located and they had just built a brand new plant with all kinds of energy saving features.

MizJ:
28 states now have Right to Work laws. Sad.
If this country got its unions back, we would not be in the hell we are with wages. The corporations and jerks like the Koch brothers have made it their biggest priority to destroy union representation. I hope this means Union’s are coming back.

Unions gave away their power to the demonRATs establishment during ReaGUN with Tip O'Neal stealing 5 trillion dollars in 8 years for illegal wars in 160 countries.... Unions were so powerful 1920-1978 the rethuglican party gave lip service to my union comrsdes.... Kock Bros ReaGUN Clinton ObushaObombney et al reduced union membership from over 40% to under 30% shipping jobs across borders&overseas..... when people boycott Starbuck$ Amazon McDonald's & Wal-Mart until all workers get 25 dollars per hour MINIMUM ALL 50 STATES....prEyerd hopey changey will not get us there
