I do have a friend that is a social worker and she is in the SEIU and here in california the ever infamous CAL-TRANS is part of SEIU so you might be surprised. You can't be any more "government" than cal-trans. Hmmm…. I don’t know.

Again.... They are not in business to employ anybody. It's a benefit to those who seek work. Why do you feel it necessary to punish those who take the risks and employ? Why do you feel entitled to that which is not yours? It's like insurance, you're not entitled to it, it's a benefit. This "living wage" you speak of... If you don't feel you're making enough try educating yourself and learn something that pays better. Should a guy who sweeps a hanger floor for NWA really make $19.00/hr? No.... Unions had their place many years ago when the work place was a place were you most likely would die. That is no longer the case. Unions are now the stepping stone for shipping work offshore.

S.E. If there wasn't a problem in the first place, the workers wouldn't have thought of starting up an union. But it is their right to form an union if they choose.  You all are advocating for for those freedoms and rights to be taken away, just to increase the profits for a few.  Nice.

It's not decided for him by the union who took no risk or made any finacial contribution to building the business.

How many deadbeat teachers are plodding along in their jobs not doing a damn thing that are protected by tenure. This happens in ALL unionized shops and the employer is forced to pay the loser instead of tossing him/her. Is this one of those great benefits that unions brought to the working world that you speak of? I’m not questioning your work ethic capper but I’m not being union specific either.
