Mike, Here in Michigan, the NEA (teacher"s union) has an agreement with the state that school boards shall hire no non union janitors or cafeteria workers in the schools. However, in their own headquarters in Lansing, they hire non union janitors and cafeteria workers because they wont pay union wages. And if that is not hypocritical enough, the AFL-CIO was to hold a state convention in the Cobo convention center in Detroit, but upon learning that since Cobo is oned and operated by the City of Detroit and that an agreement exists wherein all government facilities can only hire union workers, any activity in Cobo must have union electricians, janitors, plumbers, food workers, carpenters, and HVAC engineers. The number of these workers is calculated on the square footage to be rented and by length of time. After the AFL-CIO saw what it was going to cost them to have all these union employees, (which they negotiated), decided they couldnt afford to live by their own rules, and moved the (state) convention to Cleveland. Now then, who is costing who jobs? Unions are part of the problem, but not all the problem. As Hugh Mackay puts it, there is plenty of blame to be shared by all of us. Greed is not an entity reserved or held only by the rich. We are all guilty of greed at times, and we all pay for it.
