Question

In moments of frustration, some U.S. labor leaders have claimed that U.S. unions would be better off with a deregulation of labor law and return to the “law of the jungle. ” How would a return to voluntarism affect U.S. unions? Workers? Employers?

Answer 1

Well, in the early American labor movement it meant trade unions should focus on "pure and simple" gains in wages and working conditions and not independent labor politics and industrial unionism.
