Chinese Taxi Drivers Sound Like Trade Unionists

I was shocked to see reports of extremely assertive protests in the People's Republic of China. Taxi drivers took matters into their own hands and shut down a lot of the transportation in their cities as they protested unlicensed taxi drivers!

It makes you wonder if the Chinese government isn't omnipotent after all.
This sort of phenomenon suggests that Chinese workers still know how to rumble.

A DECENT JOB FOR A DECENT WAGE

The phrase, "a decent job for a decent wage" says a lot about the core promise of trade unionism. The basic idea is that trade unions, if prevalent will insure a substantial level of economic and social justice for all. Trade unions provide a better position for workers to bargain for higher wages and other job related benefits. Of course all of this is within the context of the employer/employee relationship.

Trade unionism is the major form of worker organization in the United States today. This remains true despite a decline in percent of workers represented by trade unions.
