I'm not a big fan of unions, but historically they have done a lot of good against Robber Barrons. Big story in news today is security guards have unionized for Farcebook and some other tech companies here. For several decades the outsourcing of our manufacturing had the intended effect of downsizing unions . Unions that had greed overcrowding good business sense in many cases. The percent of workers in a union is now less than 7 % and many of the largest unions are with in the government - figures Average pay at Farcebook is almost $200K yet they were paying their security guards as little as $12/hr which is less than we pay people to wash and dry cars in Mountain View where the min wage is $15/hr! mercurynews.ca.newsmemory.com Even you have to admit that paying guards to watch YOUR and MY privacy by checking IDs at the door less than car wash workers (my second job that paid better than busing tables and was more fun due to the comradeship) is shameful.
