Abstract
The declining incidence of strikes in the united states has plummeted dramatically over the last fifty years. Workers perceive one arsenal that they reserve for the fiercest labour battles: strike. Yet, this arsenal may forever be unutilized or at least be kept to a minimum at the expense of risking termination. Nowadays, strikes are least resorted to by labour unions because it does not achieve the result that the workforce anticipates. Moreover, the federal government in the recent decades have shown lukewarm support towards workers' causes. It appears that management seemed to have the upper hand in the formulation of employment policies. Other factors can be attributed to its decline: poor government policies on labour, the precedence of the PATCO strike, the introduction of permanent replacement workers, automation and promotion. These shall be discussed consequentially in this paper.
