I found the State of the Unions program to be unbalanced and pro-union, in spite of weak efforts at objectivity. The main question seemed to be how to increase union participation, instead of the downside of unions.
The program failed to even consider the possibility that labor unions benefit those workers who already have jobs at the expense of those who do not. When companies are forced to raise wages and benefits, they have less money to hire more workers. The end result is higher unemployment than would otherwise exist.
Not unlike arguments against the minimum wage.
