No my point is that many organizations make money off the work others do. They have skills in marketing, management, labor relations etc. I imagine all of those guys WERE tradesman. But many people seem to have a resentment to large companies (Oil Gas Power making money). I was just bringing up the FACT that even in unions, the worker is supporting someone who is not working. There is nothing wrong with that .
Whether the labor is union or non union, in the US or other countires, you can be sure that most are trying to get all they can at the cost of someone else making it. It may be a guy just starting out with his air cooled hobart welder and a central tool air compressor. Or it may be a CEO or an elected union official.
I helped pay some of those guys salaries though only a VERY small portion, I still did.
Some labor unions operate on a small budget because of few members . Yet the still operate.
Prisco Monico $ 183
Sherrin Delaney $ 73
Winfred Dailey $ 0
Patrici Labonte $ 0
John Heintz $ 0
Ronald Usher $ 0
The above figures come from
http://www.unionfacts.com/unions/ and seem to be backed by other information but it may all be propoganda.
I am not for or aginst unions. I am for a man working for an honest days pay and the man he works for making some money from that.
