Pretty sure this means you missed their point entirely, too.
It's impossible for both of these statements to be true:
-Unions protect workers by guaranteeing a livable wage.
-Union labor is prohibitively expensive.
If the latter is true, then workers are not "protected" - on the whole, a few benefit while most take the dickpunch. Examples of exorbitant union labor rates directly contradict the notion that unions are "important" for "protecting the little guy" - at least, on a global level.
Obviously the issue is much more gray than those black-and-white statements, but we're not into those gray areas yet.
