That's laughable. It's not just the pay, it's the rigid job descriptions, the overpayment of people like janitors, the refusal to outsource for things like janitorial services, etc. Unions hamstring companies and are the reason decent paying manufacturing jobs in the U.S. are history.

PS. How much do union plumbers make vs non union plumbers? About double?

Actually, the plumbers and pipefitters union actually works with employers to ensure that employers receive a decent profit while providing employment. The formula (in theory) is supposed to actually make it less expensive for a company to use union labor instead of non-union. This is a good example of a union doing what all unions ought to be doing.
