Not sure they've ever really had their workers best interest in mind to begin with much past how do they benefit the company. On a local level maybe but board rooms probably have never truly cared about the average worker. As long as the job gets done they don't care who's doing it and the cheaper it gets done the better.

This. I think it's a race to see which comes first:

1) Unions find a way to thread their way through "free trade" agreements and dictatorial governments to organize worldwide so as to MAKE corporations and government-controlled economies care;

2) Populist movements around the world lead to trustbusting;

3) Populist movements around the world lead to autocrats which lead to dictators...and then the dictators give the populists a warped government-controlled version of the "socialism" they so loudly fear;

4) Populist movements around the world lead to regional wars which lead to world war.
