Philadelphia: Impact of Union Influence
A very interesting article by Matthew Teague entitled The Last Union Town appears in Philadelphia Magazine. It chronicles the dominance of labor unions in Philadelphia’s political, social and economic life by examining the fight over non-union workers bidding on work for the Convention Center Expansion. The article is a lightning rod for disagreement as one can see by the venom in the User Comments. There is also a great deal of interesting blog commentary on Philadelphia’s Union dominance including the following:
