    It was easier because Microsoft had a budget and were willing to guarantee that those employees would get paid no matter what. If Unions were better funded they could guarantee the same.

      How do you better fund unions besides raising dues?

        Percentage-based dues would naturally go up with wage increases. In some countries unions receive government subsidies though

          Dues would go alot farther too if union employees had a cap based on average member salaries. There is zero reason for union executives to be living a different lifestyle from the people they represent.
