I have mixed emotions on Unions, specially in Las Vegas. I watched a loyal union sheet metal friend go without a job here for almost two years, because few would pay Union wages while they had an Army of Mexicans who would work for cheese and crackers. He finally had to move. God bless Amerika.
I don't really mean to hijack the thread but the problem there does not seem to lie with the Unions, rather with someone providing illegal employment and/ or someone else willing to take a job for far less than it ought to get paid.
All that in a way is the reason why we helicopter pilots are where we are today in the USA, as opposed to Europe for example.
