Honestly not trying to make an argument for/against unions (my own stance is I'd be totally fine with fully voluntary unions), but in isolation this comment doesn't seem to contradict the above comment's point about unions having outlived their usefulness.
On one hand, it's great the labor movement pushed for reforms in the first half of the 20th century. But we're in the first half of the 21st century now and as you point out, real wages haven't kept up with productivity and lots of people are financially insecure. So has the labor movement been slacking for the past ~50 years?
Of course, there's a whole lot more to financial insecurity than labor compensation, but you seem to be arguing for unions being one part of the answer to that. But we have unions, so where's the disconnect?
