supply=demand, that is the only even factor in business... the rest is artificial, and wages are a very major cost when business has to compete.
OK, I know better, yet I can't stand it. I've just got to point this out.
Do you not realize that you have just argued against yourself? The union is an ARTIFICIAL factor, and can only affect wages in a regulated market. In an open market, ie, one where a competitor can access resources (employees) at the prevailing market price, the resource will be priced according to what the resource provider is willing to sell for; in that light SWAPA has done an outstanding job of maintaining their profession. On the other hand, ALPA just negotiated me a paycheck that rewards me with $83K a year to command an MD80. From my perspective, SWAPA looks like a knight in shining armour.
