US Labor Union Decline

US Union membership peaked at 35% in the 1950s and began to decline after 1960. The current decline in union membership from 20% in 1983 to 10% in 2019 reflects the fact that private sector union membership decreased and public sector union membership increased.

It is not likely that US manufacturing workers will opt to unionize in the 2020s.  The surge in US electronics manufacturing in the 1980s produced large non-union manufacturing companies and unions offered little to attract these workers.

Unions need reinvent themselves or be resigned to decline further as we go forward.

US Labor Trends

In 1790, 94.9 of the US population worked in farming, raising crops and animals or providing services to rural areas. The US economy was based primarily on agriculture and resource extraction until 1840 and 90-95% of the population lived and worked in Rural areas. Cities began to open more factories from 1840 to 1900 and Rural populations shrank to 40%. By 2010 Rural populations were 20%.

US Labor History

Unions became popular with low wage low skilled immigrants in 1880s. Wages for Laborers averaged $1.20 per day for a 10 hour day, 6 days per week. A loaf of bread was 4 cents. 

Wages are determined by skill, contribution and labor demand. Wages have fluctuated with the ups and downs of the economy. Wages are also determined by productivity. Piece Rate Pay systems pay by unit produced.

Light Assembly averaged $0.50 a day Iron Ore Miners averaged $1.50 a day. Cigar Makers $1.50 a day. Truck Drivers averaged $1.75 a day. Steelmakers averaged $1.80 a day. Coal Miners averaged $2.00 a day. Printers averaged $2.50 a day. Book Binders averaged $3.00 a day. Blacksmiths averaged $3.00 a day. Machinists averaged $3.50 a day.  Railroad Engineer $3.50 a day.

https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.32106007458745&view=1up&seq=274

Labor was manual using shovels, pick axes and sledge hammers to mine coal and build railroads, canals, bridges and buildings. Factory work employed women and children to sew garments and work on production lines. Labor was a commodity in the 1800s and wages were negotiated. Skilled workers were in higher demand and were able to negotiate higher wages. Highly skilled workers were in high demand.

Technology transformed construction sites from 1840 to 1920.  Blasting powder, Steam shovels and Jackhammers were used after the 1840s. Blasting powder replaced picks and shovels, but rock removal was still manual. Coal was shoveled into bins and moved by rail and then loaded on to wagons and barges.

In the 1900s trucks replaced horse-drawn wagons. The front-end loader, steam tractor, construction equipment and farm equipment began to appear in 1920s. Since then, trucks, construction and farm equipment have been redesigned to carry more material. The increase in productivity makes operator skill more valuable.

US Government Screw-Ups

Allowing government to ignore the US Constitution to establish Yellowstone as a “national park” in 1872 has resulted in the government owning 30% of the US land mass to ensure that our forests would burn down annually. No Amendment was filed to expand government land ownership limits for States to ratify, because it would have failed. Western States now want their land back.

The passage of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913 heralded the demise of the “free market economy” where consumers could control the prices using the law of supply and demand. The 1913 US dollar is not worth 3 cents.

Allowing government to take over US schools in the 1920s has resulted in these schools becoming the destructive Marxist propaganda indoctrination camps we see today.

Labor laws enacted in the 1930s gave unions free reign. Unions could “strike” for months and were the first “protected group”. They could protest, picket, riot and disrupt company operations. Unions could threaten and intimidate employees to get their support. Individual initiative was discouraged.

Unions were started by Marxists taking advantage of “victimhood” and adopted Mafia extortion tactics. Unions were a drag anchor on US productivity. The Mafia was extracted from Union leadership and unions were returned to the Communists.  Labor is a commodity and individual self-support is part of human nature.

The passage of the Social Security Act in 1935 set up a Ponzi scheme to seize 15% of income and deposit in the federal general fund to redistribute. If our “retirement savings” had been deposited in individual accounts, we could have avoided this and could pass our savings on to our families.

The Supreme Court decision on “church vs state” in 1947 resulted in the war on Christianity we see today. Atheist Activist lawsuits continue today. Destroying US morality and churches was one of the goals published by the American Communist Party in 1920.

Politics based on “protected groups” began with the Civil Rights Act and US Welfare in 1964. This decimated Black Families, encouraged entitlement and divided citizens into factions.

The Roe v Wade Supreme Court decision in 1973 has resulted in the murder of 60 million babies by Abortion. Replacing them with welfare migrants without insisting on assimilation has endangered US sovereignty.

The adoption of UN Agenda 21 in 1992 resulted in moving closer to replacing all representative governments with a tyrannical global government controlled by Criminal Marxist Oligarchs. The EU is the prototype.

The passage of the Community Reinvestment Act in 1993 and HUD anti-discrimination rules caused the 2008 Financial Meltdown that resulted in the recession that we are climbing out of today.

US Corporate Screw-Ups

US manufacturers failed to prevent the over-taxation and over-regulation that would lead to the loss of US jobs to foreign countries.

GM, Ford and Chrysler management failed to provide fuel efficient cars in the 1970s when their cars got 10 mpg and gasoline prices doubled from 50 cents per gallon to $1,00 per gallon. Foreign cars from Japan, Britain and Germany got 30 mpg and they took over the US car market in the 1980s.

The 2000 Cadillac Sedan Deville got 20 mpg and Toyota in Japan introduced the Prius Hybrid that got 60 mpg. In 2005, I traded both Cadillacs in on 2 improved design Prius Hybrids.

In the 2000s auto companies over-invested in adding expensive, unnecessary electronic gadgets and doubled the price of cars, but some cars tripled their life-span.

In 2014, Fiat in Italy bought Chrysler putting the exclamation point on the failure of the US Auto Companies to design cars US consumers would buy.

US companies failed to protect and retain their intellectual property. Instead, they off-shored US manufacturing and decimated the US economy.

Norb Leahy, Dunwoody GA Tea Party Leader

Voter Screw-Ups

Voters continue to elect Socialists who promise free stuff. Socialism includes nationalizing industries and seizing private property. It always fails, because it discourages investment and invites corruption and tyranny.

Government needs to protect private property rights and support private sector expansion so that citizens can be free to work and become self-supporting. This requires government to be limited and inexpensive.

The Roman Empire imploded in 476AD because it overspent and ran out of money. The USSR did the same in 1989. Zimbabwe did the same in 2008. Venezuela did the same in 2017.

Jesus was not a socialist. Charity is voluntary. Confiscation is socialism. See video.

US Corporate Culture 2020

The implosion of the US economy and the decimation of the US Middle Class resulted in the election of Trump in 2016 to restore of the US economy. Trump is using Tariffs to force US companies to return manufacturing back to the US. Trump is in the process of lowering the US trade deficit using reciprocal bi-lateral trade agreements and encouraging all countries to do the same.  The idea is that if countries can produce the products they use, they will retain the jobs for the citizens. If countries can produce products that are competitively priced, their citizens will buy these products and surplus production can be exported.

US corporations, government entities and US students have been inundated with myths created by scams based on Marxist schemes designed to crash national economies. This requires cult-like beliefs in illogical conclusions. The Global Warming Hoax morphed into the Climate Change scam that attacks fossil fuels for carbon emissions that have no measurable effect. The elimination of fossil fuels would crash the global economy.

Support for scams like Climate Change, Open Borders, Excessive Immigration, Race and Gender Based Politics and Political Correctness are now beginning to be eroded by the success achieved by the Trump Agenda by applying common sense. The predictable decline of EU growth by 2016 was the wake-up call. The only viable solution requires that we shrink the public sector to increase the private sector economies. Otherwise it’s a zero-sum game.

US Corporations and US Politicians have been slow to adjust to the Trump Agenda, because they were satisfied with their global supply chains and their consolidation into private sector monopolies. US companies moved overseas to low wage, unregulated countries to reduce costs. Companies were able to do this, because we solved our quality problems in manufacturing with process improvements, targeted automation and high-speed manufacturing in the 1990s.

Trump’s lowering of the Corporate Tax from 35% to 21% and the elimination of unnecessary regulations in 2017 leveled the playing field.

The viability of large US companies has diminished. Their products and services are overpriced and are not necessities. They are large bureaucracies with irrelevant mission statements. They are prone to large blunders due to lack of focus. Their managements require blind employee allegiance to this nonsense. Their cultures are highly politicized and it’s miserable to work there.

I saw this in 1993 and opted to work in my own private consulting practice. There was not a single large company I was interested in working for, because I saw this culture change coming.

Norb Leahy, Dunwoody GA Tea Party Leader

US Corporate Culture 1990

By 1990, computerization was applied to products. Cell phones were available and electronics was set to dominate further development.

UN Agenda 21 shifted US corporate culture in 1992. US Manufacturing was off-shored. US corporate cultures supported European Socialism, Secular Humanism and Global Supply Chains. They abandoned the US National Economy and embraced the Global Economy. US government policies produced open borders, excessive immigration, stagnant wages and job loss. The US became a minimum wage service economy. It was obvious to me that buzzwords like World-Class, Diversity and Multiculturalism had a sinister meaning.

UN Agenda 21 implementation in the US quadrupled the cost of infrastructure beginning in 2000, because cronies replaced the lowest bidder. All Land Use Plans, Zoning Plans and Ordinances became identical across all US cities and counties.

US Corporations made short-term profitability their primary goal and the expense of long-term growth. Foreign countries cut their corporate taxes and offered bribes to attract US corporations. The surge in electronics manufacturing replaced failing auto manufacturing. But after the PC and Telecom design cycles of the 1980s and 1990s, electronics went overseas.

The PC was a game changer for productivity in the 1980s. Clerks, Typists and Secretaries became Data Admins. Paper records were replaced by databases. Productivity increased by 600%.

US Corporate Culture 1950

By 1950, the modern appliances introduced in 1900 had been developed and the skilled jobs created the middle class.

US companies provided manufactured goods to foreign consumers after 1945.  By 1950, war-torn countries had rebuilt their manufacturing plants and were recovering from World War II.

In the 1950s, US corporations ran like the Army and required corporate loyalty. Labor Unions were sabotaging the companies they fed on and management was authoritarian.

In the 1960s we shifted management to make unions unnecessary. Companies moved their manufacturing plants to Right to Work States. Non-Union Companies made sure their wages were higher than their union counterparts and union membership began to decline.

In the 1960s, the US labor force recognized that they were likely to work in different companies and different industries and that Pension Plans would need to be replaced by a more portable system.

It was clear that companies would off-shore manufacturing based on cost. Companies would avoid moving operations to unstable or dangerous countries that lacked the rule of law or were prone to Communist revolutions. Assembly operations that were lower skilled and labor intensive were destined to move to low wage countries. Shoe and clothing manufacturing were being off-shored in the 1960s.

US Corporate Culture 1900

The Industrial Revolution was the renaissance that applied what had been discovered by scientists since the 1500s. This was accomplished by individuals like Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan and Ford and led by scientists like Einstein, Edison and Tesla.

The US and Europe had made rapid progress from 1800 to 1900 in using scientific discoveries to develop useful devices. The steam engine was developed to create the railroads to move people and goods more easily and rapidly and improve productivity in factories.

Work was still physical and the need to develop labor-saving devices to increase productivity was critical. By 1900, we were replacing horses with cars and lamp oil with electricity. We were replacing the steam engine with the internal combustion engine. We were replacing the telegraph with the telephone. We were chlorinating water and building sanitary sewer systems to prevent disease. We were set to develop indoor plumbing, refrigeration, electric and gas powered tools and home appliances and radios to sell to consumers and households.

Genetic Occupational Specifics

My Genetic Occupations post identified my observations of the talents and interests covering 6 generations of my family. The occupational choices made were based on talents and interests, but were also based on the career opportunities in vogue at the time.  In the 1850s, everybody was farming. Manufacturing surged from 1850 to 1950. Chemistry was big from the 1850s to 1950s. Medicine began to advance in 1900 and has been big since the 1950s.

Each talent, skill, ability and interest exist independently on the “normal curve” like our IQ with the bottom at Zero, the middle at 100 and the top at 200. Talents appear to be inherited and random.

Medical Occupations - In 1906, my grandpa Couch graduated from medical school. Uncle Tom became a Sales Executive with Squibb. Uncle Jack graduated from medical school in the 1950s. My wife Marlene worked as a Dental Assistant in the 1960s and became a Dental Hygienist in 1986. Two of our girls Lisa and Colleen became Dental Hygienists in the 1990s.  Lisa’s husband is an Executive at McKesson. Our son Tim sells medical equipment for Biomerieux. Our daughter Julie and Marlene’s brother Vernon are MSWs and treated addiction. I worked at Washington University Medical School in the 1970s. Our daughter Julie’s son Charles is headed for Medical School. Marlene’s sister Janet married an Optometrist and both of her girls graduate as Nurses in the 1990s. One of her girls married an MD. Her son married a Nurse.

Musical Talent – Grandma Couch was an opera singer. Grandpa Couch played guitar and sang ditties from the 1880s. Uncle Billy played piano by ear. Uncles Leo and Winfred led a Jazz band in the 1930s. Marlene’s grandpa Buss played the violin. Her cousin Gene led a dance band. Her brothers Ken and Vernon and her sister Janet had a dance band. One of the nephews, Michael had a rock band. I played trumpet and several instruments. I sang and played guitar in my own rock band 3 nights a week in high school. I sang and played bass guitar in a blues band 6 nights a week through college. I sang and played bass guitar in jazz trios on weekends until I was age 32.  Our son Tim played drums in a rock band. Our daughter Julie sings, writes and records music. Colleen’s daughter Elliot plays piano and several instruments and her son Lucas plays piano and drums. Marlene’s sister’s grandkids play piano

Art – My mother was an accomplished sketch artist. Our daughter Julie is also an accomplished sketch artist and painter. Our son-in-law Jonathan is an accomplished videographer and film editor and his daughter Elliot produces YouTube videos. Our great grandson’s father Richard is an accomplished sketch artist.

Sports – My wife Marlene was an accomplished athlete. I played all sports, but not well. Our daughter Lisa is a fitness trainer. Our son Tim is a distance runner. Marlene, Lisa, Colleen and Tim were Life Guards. Lisa, Julie and Colleen were Cheerleaders. Jeanne was a gymnast. Our great grandson Jordan is an accomplished athlete and so was his father. Our son-in-law Jonathan is an accomplished athlete and his son and daughter have talent. Marlene’s brother’s son Matt was a snowboarding champion. Marlene’s sister Janet’s grandkids play soccer and hockey.

Barbering – Marlene’s father Gus was a barber. Her brother Ken is a barber. Two of our daughters Jeanne and Michelle are barbers.

Construction – Marlene’s brother Vernon’s son Matt and our great grandson’s father Richard own Construction Companies.

Investing – My grandpa Leahy became wealthy investing in Olin Chemical and other companies in the 1930s. My brother Bob became wealthy investing in stocks.

Homeschooling – Our daughters Lisa, Julie and Colleen have homeschooled their children.

Ministry – My grandpa Dr. Couch ran a rural medical charity practice every Saturday with house-calls to poor farmers in his home county and was paid in produce.  I sang in Church Choirs since 7^th grade. I served as Lector and Cantor since 1966. Marlene and I ran Marriage Encounter and Engaged Encounter and were Parish Marriage Ministers. I served on Parish Councils and served as a Choir Director. Our 6 kids and our 13 grandkids have been extremely active in Church as Leaders, Musicians and Missionaries

Humor – Marlene and I both have families who highly value wit and humor. Marlene’s mom Josephine was our role-model. Her sons Ken and Vernon are a riot.

Life Skills – Most of our relatives in 6 generations demonstrated ability

Politics – We are 6 generations of Conservatives.

We all do more than our primary occupations. Our talents and interests lead us to use them.

Occupational Challenges

In the US, we need to learn to live within our means and must identify the difference between necessary and unnecessary expenditures. We need food, shelter, water, electricity, transportation and no debt. We don’t really need expensive rent, smartphones, Internet, Cable TV or new cars. 

We need to pursue occupations that will allow us to become self-supporting home owners, so we can grow our net worth. We need jobs we enjoy with people we like.

Genetic Occupations History

In ancient times, craftsmen trained their children to learn the family trade. From 40,000 BC to 5,000 BC the family trade was hunting and gathering for food and water and battling rival clans. In 5,000 BC farming, wine making, mining flint, gold and gems and building wood, thatch and stone structures were added.

In 4,000 BC, reed and wooden boats began to appear.

https://www.britannica.com/technology/ship/History-of-ships

The Copper Age dated at 3,500 BC, the Bronze Age dated at 3,300 BC and the Iron Age dated at 1,200 BC. In 400 BC, Steel was made in India.

Jesus started as an apprentice for Joseph and became a journeyman carpenter, stone mason and builder. In the middle ages, the middle class was formed the same way to create infrastructure, equipment, shipping and trade routes. This produced wealthy merchants and excellent craftsmen.

Families moved to America in the 1600s and to Australia in the 1700s to own land and establish family farms, plantations and ranches. Craftsmen like blacksmiths, metal, wood and leather workers taught their children the family trade. In the 1800s, the inventions discovered in the 1600s were being applied. The Steam Engine appeared on Locomotives and in Factories. Mass production would replace craftsmen and their family businesses, so it was the craftsmen who created the factories. The rapid advance of the Industrial Revolution allowed for many other occupations to be created based on consumer demand. The mechanization of the Steam Engine led to the invention of the combustion engine and the automobile and airplane.

By 1900, we discovered that adding chlorine to water killed bacteria. We built sanitary sewers. We invented electricity. We replaced the telegraph with the telephone. We replaced the Ice Box with the refrigerator. We were implementing these improvements by 1920. We were entering a time when our children could join us in a family business if we had one, but could also work in a myriad of occupations and pursue their own means of self-support.
