Is it really true that the Dems in power = "a friendlier environment 
for union organizing"?  Ever since the peaks of 1945-1946 and 1954, 
union density has gone downhill, regardless of which party dominates 
any branch of the government, as shown by the chart of union density 
between 1930 and 2001 provided by AFL-CIO at
