"where cheaper workers are available around the globe." A Union is a work force of man power. When Seabrook Station, Diablo Canyon, Vermont Yankee, DC Cook.Shillings Power,A/B Budwiser,Wentworth Douglas Hospital etc needs anywhere from 50-1000 trained,licenced,drug free people to come in on a days notice where or who do you suggest they call? They make call out to a Union hall and it starts the ball rolling. Call a master electrician or plumber and see how much they charge an hour. They don't, they caharge by the job. They get every nickle they can squeeze out of you that you are willing to pay and is is way more then an average union member makes an hour.
