But I’m glad to hear about people making a living wage doing “blue collar” work. Unions are great and I can’t believe how many people buy into the RW line bad mouthing them. Years ago I worked in an industry in which the unions were losing membership, meaning there were fewer union shops. But as long as there were some around the pay at non union shops stayed competitive. As there were fewer and fewer of them, pay throughout the industry suffered.
