All excellent points Bailey, but you left out the part where union positions that are artificially expensive lead to outsourcing... why would a for-profit corporation continue to pay for expensive union labor when an offshore company bids it WAY lower?
This doesn't always apply, when the jobs are physically here- (or does it? undocumented workers are cheaper) but the point is, you're pricing yourself out of the free market.
I've also never been part of a collective bargaining agreement, but earn a decent living for my family based on my abilities and what I contribute. Since I've been there for 14 years, I must have some value...
ETA: Marlin, he can hurl insults at me if he wants- I won't ask for any suspension... can't be any worse than what I endured when on work assignment in Maryland- doing a CWA job while they were on strike.
