If the private sector still had unions, the median salary would be higher at this point.

If the public sector didn't have unions, then cities such as Detroit and others wouldn't be in bankruptcy, and long suffering taxpayers wouldn't be stretched to the limit in order to be paying for exorbitant public sector wages and benefits. It will only get worse in the future as the gravy train will be running on empty..

Z,
So, why should their income be dependent on how much you make?
WTF are you talking about? Their income has nothing to do with how much I make, nor does my income have anything to do with how much they make.
If the private sector still had unions, the median salary would be higher at this point.
Not necessarily. A union is essentially a monopoly on labor, but even monopolies are subject to the laws of supply and demand.
