Plain titanium doesn't do that. Do you mean "nickel titanium"? I had a pair of NiTi frames, they were awesome.

Do you have a torrent for your documentary? If so, can you post the link in your original post? Thanks.

I think he means that, outside of the auto industry and the public sector, unions pretty much don't exist in America any more.

There are many people in service unions (cleaning people, hotel workers) and many teacher unions. In fact in my state there are teacher unions for the state level, county level, and city level. I'm not even sure what their function is to have so many, or how they coordinate things. There are also unions for plumbers and other tradesmen, and US postal workers.

Source: I have an ex who is a teacher, and another ex who is a USPS worker, and another ex who is a factory worker.

Maybe general union membership is just higher in Michigan, where I'm at.

What's this "decline of labor unions" you speak of? In Michigan the labor unions are still going strong, but they are less public as of late. When Delphi Automotive filed for bankruptcy, their union workers didn't leave the union. They just went to General Motors.

When union workers are out of work, they go to the union hall and get paid from union funds.

So what do you mean by "decline of labor unions"? A decline of membership?
