It has been an age since working people saw labor law as any real protection, and now, as U.S. President Bill Clinton Administration's Commission on the Future of Worker Management Relations readies its preliminary report on labor law reform, many workers and unions fear that instead of serving the majority of America's people, Washington will tailor the rules even further to fit the needs of corporate special interests. A year ago Secretary of Labor Robert Reich suggested the direction in which the commission was heading with his observation that "the jury is still out on whether the traditional union is necessary for the new workplace."
