"Unions tend to do a terrible job of addressing working conditions, because they seek solutions that could be applied to everyone."

I'm no fan of Unions, but the workplace dynamic you describe occurs in non-Union shops as well. It's just one of the known problems of large organizations; very often (but not always), the system must be optimized for the weakest link in the chain. The enforcing function is the potential for litigation and the resulting impact on getting insurance.

There doesn't have to be a Union within 100 miles, just a lawyer and your insurance company.

Good point. I hadn't thought of that. It's unfortunate that we've evolved to a system where we can't allow some discretion based on skill level.

From the looks of things, I was right.

You had your exam last week. Which is why my assistant gouged his eyes out.

And he was blind!

I've been looking for a job as a buffalo hunter and can't find one. I guess it must be pretty popular, if there never are vacancies?

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Helen Thomas has a gyne?

Now thats a job to email the "Dirty Jobs" program people about.

I've always wanted to see Mike Rowe vomit.

We're not that unpopular....

Ah...you're right there.  The one or two people in a library....the ones who actually understand what the library is there for....are worthy of their hire.

But I still stick to my premise:  their median wage shouldn't logically be higher, than machinists.

Now, if we were talking authors -the creators of ideas - that would be a different story.

[Chances Are]

I saw a blurb on the news this morning on this very subject. The news anchor ended his report by informing us that there are widespread reports that new graduates are having little trouble getting starting salaries of $110,000.

I swear, that's what the man said!

CA....
