1. During the 1980s employers never had it so good. Lengthy(冗长的) dole(失业救济) queues(队列) made it easy for businessmen and union-bashing(反工会运动) politicians to impose(利用,欺骗) their will on the same organized labour (参加工会的人)that had often humiliated(羞辱) them in the 1970s.In 1981 Ronald Reagan took on(雇用) America’s air-traffic(空中交通) controllers and won; in 1985 Margaret Thatcher trounced(痛击) Britain’s miners(矿工). In the same year Mr Carl Icahn, an American raider(袭击者), was able to dismember(肢解) TWA(美国环球航空公司), an American airline, without a whimper(哀诉) from its workforce(工人).
2. The 1990s will be different. In most of the big OECD(经济合作与发展组织) countries the total workforce will continue to grow, but there will be a shortage of young, skilled workers. A return to the mass-union power of the 1970s looks unlikely. But the shortage of younger workers will mean that companies in America, Japan and Europe will have to find new ways to attract, develop, motivate(激发), reward(酬劳) and retain(保留) employees.
