    THINGS seem to be looking up for unions in the United States.

    The Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists have brought Hollywood to a screeching halt. United Parcel Service’s (UPS) workers secured a substantial wage increase.

    The United Auto Workers (UAW) are now on strike against the nation’s largest automakers – the first time the union has hit every one of the Big Three at once. And polling data released last month indicated that two-thirds of Americans approve of unions, a level last seen in 1965.
