Well, you understand this isn't about higher paid wages. It's about hanging onto their benefits. But but bet the rent, the companies will beat these unions. I am confident of this.
As I told another poster, eventually they will all be paid as little as possible, and there will be little or no medical benefits...This is the clear trend..... No debate...
Joe, at some point you should become more familiar with economics. Higher wealth is not generated by higher wages/benefits - it's created through higher productivity.
Average living standards continue to rise because each successive generation develops previously untapped markets and/or invents new products/services.
Merely demanding higher wages/benefits through collusion and restriction of trade is always a losing proposition; onc which these poor deluded fools are going to soon find out.
