Ha - Unions diehards are Funny stuff. Your statments that non-union labor make less money is wrong.
Case in point: My company had both union and non-union plants making the same product and workers made the same money and benefits. Been here 35 yrs.
Here's the difference: Union plants took a lot more employees to make less product. Union plants used the same technology for for over 50 yrs because they resisted any change.

With a little newer technology the company was recently able to consolidate all manufacturing to the non-union plants. So now the checker playing union members can play checkers full time. Of course they won't be getting pay checks.
