Re: Trickle-down economics

"neither should an employee be forced to join a union."

Now that I think about it, I wonder if that's part of the US problem with unions? ISTR seeing a documentory about large building projects, and at least some of the teams of workers were union teams. often father/son pairs in the teams. And you hire the whole team, not just some employees or contractors. It sounds like the ultimate closed shop. Not only do you have to be a union member to get the job, you need to be family or friend of a member just to get in.
