It failed.
Now we have, as a nation reached the conclusion that our lack of competitiveness was from our trading partners cheating.
That means that the primary underlying REASON to be anti-Union, is no longer valid.

With Unions, we can see that their decline did not result in increased competitiveness as the Free Trade Ideology suggested it should.
What similar evidence do you have that "Trade" is a scapegoat?
