I Don’t See the Connection

Recently, I heard a union spokesman say that the CEO was making 20 million a year, implying that it means they should be paid more.

So now a man should be paid, not on his worth, but rather how much his boss makes?

To some degree, I do agree CEOs are being paid too much too, far more than than they are worth. However, just because they over pay the one man, that does not mean everyone else should be overpaid too.

When the price of union produced products goes up, then their ability to compete with imports goes down.

It is so interesting to look through employee parking lots of US car manufacturers. Many, perhaps as many as half the cars there are foreign made. Invariably, if you ask those working at the plant why they bought the Nissan instead of the Chevy, they will say the Nissan provides more for the money.

Mainly, that is because unions demand too much. To be sure, it’s not just the car manufacturers, but those mining and making the steel, those making tires, and yes, even the windows.

Before those of you working in any union shop start the complaints, think about who you buy your products from, including thar nice suit you bought made in China, or maybe the carseat you paid a C-note for.

1900, almost all fabrics and clothing were made in the US. Now hardly none. What benefit is that for the fabrc unions? Are there any fabric unions left in the Us? Are the any fabrics even made in the US?
