Rigs,

Visit a few "Right-to-Work" states (14b- Taft-Hartley Act) and see just how little has changed in the last 60 to 70 years for blue collar workers... I know... I live in one of those states and there are plenty of people working for federal minimum wages doing the exact same work that folks in union states are paid 2 to 3 times as much to do and, at the very least, aren't living in poverty... That's why if you check out the poverty levels in the various states you'll see a direct correlation between 14b states and poverty... Now if you think poverty is okay then maybe we can have that discussion...
