Abstract

The US' organized labor is predicted to again demonstrate its strength in the 21st century. The face of organized labor, however, may be a little different from the traditional one.

It aims to eliminate the negative impression companies have regarding labor unions by staying away from provocative words such as 'union,' 'labor' and 'organizing.' More importantly, WashTech was established to ensure that high-tech employees are given the pay and benefits they deserve., Organized labor hopes that the new century will bring about a new era of union strength in the United States. If so, WashTech may be the future face of labor. [...]
