To say that you are completely against unions is short sighted. The reality lies somewhere in the middle. Unions have some benefits (purchase power for medical benefits for one). Here in Arizona (a right to work state), the construction industry is having a difficult time finding labor. Why? Because the non-union companies have kept the market so low that all qualified workers have gone elsewhere (Vegas being a prime example). Why would a 20 year old kid go to work in the construction industry starting at 10-12 dollars an hour when he can work at home depot for 18 and be in an air conditioned environment flirting with cute girls? Heck, you can work at In 'n Out or Walmart for $10. I would like to think that business owners would share the wealth and pay people a reasonable wage, but the reality is that most do not. I am not completely for unions, but to not see that they have some value is just ignorant. A checks and balance system is not a bad thing...
