I’m not really grasping this… as in they want no minimum wage?
I don’t see the problem here, say minimum wage is 30 an hour (crazy excessive hypothetical one), The union can just as easilly negotiate that Much easier safer jobs are 30/hr, which means our guys aren’t going to take a cent under 50/hr.
Or, because minimum wage is now $30, most of the people working at the non-unionized corporate plant say “but do we really need a union, it’s $30/hr”.
It relieves unionization pressure, and I don’t see how it couldn’t not do so.
You’d have to operate under some really weird mental model of how sociology works to believe that this isn’t the case.
I’m not a big union proponent, I and my family have only ever had bad experiences with them. I do not know if they really are ambivalent on minimum wage, I will take poVoq’s word for it. But I can certainly understand how, if they have intelligent leaders, they might be less than enthusiastic about it.
