Unions are a manifestation of worker power, not the source of it. This misunderstanding leads to people saying a lot of things that are nonsensical.
The decline in unions is in part because of the decline in worker power. That's come about in part because of globalization and in part because of many measures taken over the past 70 years that ensure businesses have the upper hand making workers less valuable and powerful at home as well.
I always like to remind everyone that the powers that be have rooms full of the smartest people on earth trying to figure out how to get you to cheer for the boot on their necks.
