I'm not saying that stronger unions, especially in some industries, is a bad idea, but there were some other things that happened during that time period that probably had something to do with it as well. Like maybe shipping all our manufacturing jobs overseas. Unions can be positive, and they can be negative, but I've never met someone who felt like they were a positive influence on the quality of work done in my industry. And as far as regulations go, that's probably a mixed bag as well. It used to be if you needed a pump changed out, the operator shut it down and called the mechanic who came and did the work. Now, the operator has to write a permit, lock out all the potential sources of energy, call an electrician to make the electrical disconnect and sign off on the permit, get supervisory approval from both his supervisor and the mechanic's supervisor, and place a tag where the mechanic will break into the process. The mechanic now needs a helper to stand outside the barricade while he makes the first break wearing special PPE before they can return the first break tag to operations and continue on with the job. All for a job that would have just involved flipping a switch and turning a few valves before telling the mechanic to get after it during the time where we had so called better worker protections. And that's not even getting into what is required if you need to enter a confined space and use a battery powered drill.
