I agree with you that there are many people around willing to take less pay to do a job than the union wants its workers paid. However there is one minor detail that was left out, and I am a little surprised that it hasnt came up earlier. Its called imigrant labor. The theory that if the union thinks that $17.50 isnt enough for their workers, hire someone that will accept that is great except for the fact that the company can also decide to pay an imigrant considerably less for the same work. Take the meat packing industry for example, most jobs in this field are ones that the stereotypical American would not think of doing. Their answer to their problem was to bring in people from Mexico,Somolia, and etc. that will work for less. Which is the lesser of two evils? Paying Americans a wage that is in some cases higher than it needs to be and keeping the money here, or having imigrants from other countries that in most cases arent citizens, spending minimal amounts of their pay here and sending the majority of it back to their home country. Unions arent the only thing to blame for the current economic crisis we're in. There were many different things that added up to what we currently have. Im not sure this mess can be boiled down to any one thing. Greed, speculation, and poor judgement are some key factors but arent necessarily the sole causes.
