Steve, and excellent post on the macro-scale of union versus employer scale!

However, your last line IS wrong, in the sense that there are underlying principles surrounding this particular debate.

At the end of the day, labor unions existed to create fair compensation for skilled workers. On the other hand, public unions (to the detriment of FDR's advice) have advocated COMPENSATED workers over genralized labor, despute the fact that the former is more costly.

In other words, unions are bargaining for more than they are worth.

If you think that government exists to provide jobs, you're hopeless.
