Sen. Joe Manchin endorses the pro-labor PRO Act, but it still faces an uphill climb in the Senate.

That gives us an opportunity to examine the history of federal labor law and how it has allowed employers to run roughshod over unionization drives during the last three-quarters of a century.

Union membership peaked in the late 1950s and then began a long slide. This chart traces the trend through 2014. Right-to-work laws require unions to perform those services without charging dues to nonmembers, even though the latter benefit from union services. That creates what’s known as a “free rider” problem — the unions are providing those services for free.
