It wouldn't be so much of an issue had it not been for decades and decades of lax immigration policies that put downward pressure on wages in may blue collar industries.  But that's where we are and either guys like you should pay more (you won't) or workers are going to have to add value to their skill sets.  Your "reforms" sound like they were written by the Wobblies.</blockquote>
