Ha - Unions diehards are Funny stuff. Your statments that non-union labor make less money is wrong.
Case in point: My company had both union and non-union plants making the same product and workers made the same money and benefits. Been here 35 yrs.
Here's the difference: Union plants took a lot more employees to make less product. Union plants used the same technology for for over 50 yrs because they resisted any change. Getting anything new done at the union plants was almost impossible while the non-union plants innovated, upgraded, and became leaders in technology.
With a little newer technology the company was recently able to consolidate all manufacturing to the non-union plants. So now the checker playing union members can play checkers full time. Of course they won't be getting pay checks.
Here's another fact: Non-union laborers have more jobs. Unions are just bad for American manufacturing. I've learned that first hand.
Same thing in the auto industry. Non-union American labor beats the pants off union labor (see Honda, Toyota). There is simply no need for unions anymore. Hopefully they will continue to die off.
