In short, when a union is
involved you do not have a free market (the employeer has his hands
tied and his nuts in a vice).

And without a union, employees are in a similar situation.

Again that is the myth that labor tries to put out there. However, it
is based on the assumed belief that labor has no intrinsic market
value, only the value that organized labor can get for it. In truth
companies pay lots of money to recruiters and HR departments to seek
out employees. In truth the majority of American's do not work under a
collective bargaining unit but still are paid above minimum wage. The
reason is that there is a market for their labor and employers must
either pay it or do without. The fear of "the sky is falling" that
oraganized labor has put out there hasn't happened. In most cases non-
union employees make more than organized employees. The only one
making money off the unions are the fat cats that run the unions.
