Service Industry Unions

[Jennifer A Young]

I was wondering why service industry unions, especially restaurants, are not
more prevelent in the United States.  I know there has been some success in
San Francisco, but where else?  It seems that since welfare reform is
forcing people into these thankless positions there would be a good climate
for unions.   I would be interested in hearing comments about this, and
would appreciate being steered toward some sources of information concerning
service industry unions.
