Question 3

Correct Answer:

Answered by Examlex AI Copilot

Recent developments in the labor market and economy could indeed be viewed as unfavorable to unions. One major factor is the decline in union membership and influence in many industries. This decline can be attributed to various reasons, including anti-union legislation, globalization, and the rise of the gig economy. Additionally, the increasing use of automation and technology in the workplace has led to job displacement and a shift in the types of jobs available, making it more challenging for unions to organize and advocate for workers.

Furthermore, there has been a trend towards deregulation and a more business-friendly environment in many countries, which has weakened the bargaining power of unions. This has resulted in stagnant wages, reduced benefits, and less job security for workers, all of which are issues that unions traditionally address.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on unions, as many workers have faced layoffs, furloughs, and reduced hours, making it difficult for unions to effectively represent and protect their members.

Overall, recent developments such as declining membership, technological advancements, deregulation, and the impact of the pandemic have created a challenging environment for unions, making it difficult for them to effectively advocate for workers' rights and improve working conditions. Therefore, it is reasonable to view these developments as unfavorable to unions.

All unions in Canada belong to the Canadian Labour Congress.
