Many times the benchmark for workers for wages and benefits have been
union workers, especially the UAW. There is also what is called the
prevailing wage. Many wages in a community are based on benchmarks and
prevailing wages.



You just don't get it, do you? People with your mindset tend to be
nothing short of users of society, and very undesirable to be around.
Who the hell wants to be around anyone that feels the world owes them a
living? Benchmarks established at the hands of greedy people represent
nothing more than a benchmark that is doomed to fail.

The UAW is one of the worst of violators, and have single handedly driven
the auto industry to other countries. Union workers made that real easy
by slacking off, demanding more pay for less work, and ignoring even the
most basic demands for quality. Too damned busy going to work stoned to do
the work. I'm without words when I consider that workers that had
nothing more than a lunchbox invested in their jobs were knocking down
more than $25/hr when skilled trades weren't making anywhere near that
amount. It's not a sign of a good thing, it's a sign of things out of
control, doomed to collapse, as they've done. Had workers in this
country kept their wits about themselves and worked for earned wages,
perhaps the gap in pay wouldn't have been large enough for industry to
move. We'll be doing good to have anything left on our shores in a few
years if the trend continues.

Tell me-----what's best-----never being able to buy that boat you couldn't
afford, or buying it, only to lose it because your job was lost because
you priced yourself out of the market with unearned wages? Don't you
lose by either choice?

You can put your union where the sun doesn't shine.
