Prosperity versus strikes.
The thesis of this article--that prosperity may reduce, rather than encourage, strike activity--will surprise many readers, for it has long been accepted as axiomatic that prosperity is more favorable to union activity than depression. The author does not essay judgment on the validity of this belief as regards the historical past but challenges its accuracy in the last thirty years, during which period, he argues, the evidence strongly indicates that prosperity inhibits the willingness and ability of workers to strike.
