Move. Unions didn't come into existence because of low pay but
primarily because of working conditions.


It's not that simple. Sometimes a heterogenous labor pool can include
people
who are willing to work for less than a subsistence wage, competing with
people who cannot afford to do so. The former pull down wages for the
latter,
causing problems. And the former are not really being paid a living wage,
so
it's not necessarily a fair arrangement. Unions sometimes protect against
this as well.
