Excerpt from The Economic Analysis of Labor Union Power

Most important of all, perhaps, and beyond mere increase in numbers and the crisis in union government, are various accre tions of market power, unrelated to collective bargaining as such. These rest in part on certain statutory immunities5 and in part on the fuller exploitation of old techniques such as picketing, intimidation and various forms of boycott (actual or threatened), but fundamentally on the basic complexity and interdependence of the economic system. From this point of View there could be nothing more ominous in the revolution than the explosive growth during this period of the Teamsters Union from a mere eighty-two thousand in 1932, to the recent figure of one million four hundred thousand, coupled with Mr. Hoffa's plans for forcing its rule into the South by the process so familiar in its growth to date of offering economic strangulation as the alter native to joining up. The received economic theory of labor unions has dealt mainly with collective bargaining and has not caught up with these developments.
