[quote="trucker40"](quoted from post at 13:55:14 01/06/10).If union wages are 25 dollars an hour that should be minimum wage.

If that were the case, then a burger at a fast food joint would cost about $15. :lol:
If the minimum wage is $25, then the union guy will want $50. The doctor and lawyer will expect to make $200. The point is that the minimum wage is for entry level, no skills, part time teenager type work, i.e. the corner grocer who wants somebody to stock shelves. You're not supposed to stay at that pay level your whole life. And it's YOUR responsibility to make something of yourself so you can EARN more than minimum wage. It's not the governments job to raise the minimum wage willy nilly. The labor market will do that on its own.
Instead, we have people who have dropped out of school, have not bothered to develop a marketable skill who sit around and EXPECT someone to pay them MORE than minimum wage when they have MINIMUM skills. It's the socialist, union mentality that just by being a warm body on this earth that you're entitled to a fat paycheck. Nobody is ENTITLED to anything! You've got to earn it and even then, it's not a RIGHT for you to keep that job.
