[quote who="Kantok" reply="58" id="3390375"]but as a general rule the bad place that union labor finds itself in today is largely its own fault.

When I was 14 I took a summer job at a bike shop, it payed $3.75 an hour, I worked on bikes and swept the place up. I could not see a bike shop today hiring a kid in high school for a summer job if they had to pay $15 bucks an hour and supply health benefits on top. so much for the lil guy trying to break in to the job market..
