It seams that most of the comments have avoided the heart of my argument. Some , and I suspect many people when asked to join a union think unions are unnecessary because the government provides them with basic protections. The first question: Do you think that the abolition of minimum wage would lead to more people joining unions? YES or NOThe second question: Do you think unionized companies pay more? YES or NOThe Third question: Has the number of labor laws increased while the number of people in unions has decreased? YES or NOGovernment remedies require you to Take off workHire a lawyer that will take 40% of your settlement and make a record of you as a trouble maker On the other hand unions solve grievances far beyond the minimum that Government provides.

Right, because if an employer pays $7.26/hour instead of $7.25, it's paying above minimum wage right?
1-in-4 persons over 25 working within the private sector earn less than $10/hour. Unfortunately, I could not find an exact wage breakdown.
So the Republicans and big business would suddenly start paying a voluntary living wage if you abolish minimum wage laws? The Republicans will fight to the death before wages are even close to a living wage.
How dare you suggest that the job creators like Twitt Robme take a pay cut for the the average worker.

My mothers side of the family were life long Union Members and worked at the the PA Railroad.
At one time, the PRR was the largest publicly traded corporation in the world, with a budget
larger than that of the U.S. government and a workforce of about 250,000 people
65 years on the news. Is that not something?
91-year-old World War II veteran retires after 65 years of working on the railroad
This Labor Day, there will be a little less labor for one World War II veteran.
Thomas Merrick, 91, who served in the Army's 92nd Infantry between 1942 and 1946, retired Saturday from his job
as station superintendent with the New York City transit system after 65 years of service, according to MTA.info.
Merrick, who began working as a railroad clerk in the summer of 1948 for 90 cents an hour -- what he
calls "a good and decent wage at the time" -- was born in 1921 in Wilmington, N.C.
