the unions have raised the standards of wages and working conditions for everyone, union or not.
My original post is quite clear that I recognize this.

Do you really think these people will be content to stop with the first steps of their overall plan to eliminate the middle class?
I think they have no such plan, because they *are* the middle class. The way I see it, your complaint is they wish to keep the working class from becoming the middle class. Or maybe more accurately, they wish to kick the working class out of the middle class.

But that is all a smokescreen. The issue at hand is whether a union which refuses to accept modest concessions for its members ought to be forced by the representatives of the taxpayers - who are their employers - to accept such a contract.

If they don't like it, they are free to go to any of their neighboring states, where they won't find anywhere near as good a deal. And inferior cheese.
