Admit that I did not read all. What I heard many years ago was that unions always push for an increase in the minimum wage because union wages always increased by a certain % based on the minimum wage. Seems to me an increase in the minimum wage would be a boost in the salaries of all union workers.

Pretty sure that the pipe welders union would be the main beneficiary of the Keystone XL pipeline. Building pipelines is complicated stuff, and their members are compensated very generously.

$50 an hour times 80 hours equals $200k???

The unions bypassed all that lucrative overtime and just accepted $50 per hour but, a promise of a boat load of hours?

Uhmmmm. ..boo chit...

Oh, and...its $50 per hour for the first 40 hours and at least $75 per hour for anything over that, Not counting certain other hours that are worth even more.

It’s $250k at those hours and ain’t no one putting in 80 hours a week, as a pipe fitter, for 50 weeks.
