We'll have to agree to disagree.The only reason we don't backslide back to some of the bad work practices is because of regulations outlawing them. Now I'm not saying that it would ever get as bad as it did in the 30's we have evolved somewhat as a society. And I'm also not saying at times Unions have been corrupted and in bargaining overplayed their hand. But on tally many more regular non-union business have been corupt in one way or another over the years than union ones. Mainly simply because the vast majority of jobs in this country are non-union. But I am certain that with no regulations younger and younger children would be working and there would be a sub class of pittance paid workers. You are being naive to believe that greed would not again cause this to happen.As far as Unions. There's nothing wrong with workers unionizing so they can collectively bargain. Also the Union is a pathway through apprenticeship for a blue collar kid to work his way up to a very decent living. In fact my best friend did this through the Masonry Trade.As far a the minimum wage there is a cut off point as to how low someone should be paid working a regular W2 job. This isn't about some kid mowing lawns or some high school girl babysitting on the side. Although if you think about it even those jobs a fair person would give minimum wage money for. IMO the idea that you'd be helping somebody by allowing them to undercut someone else by working for less than our minimum wage is on it's face weak on merit.
