There's such a unique duality that I see throughout this thread. Unions, for better or for worse, represent their work force. People on one end seem to think that the workers in the assembly line are paid too much as is, others think they're not paid enough, ultimately, the workers themselves would sure like more money, would they not? However, the consumer wants to pay less for more product. You can't have it both ways unless you start capping income for executives in all forms and distribute that profit more evenly among its workforce, research, development and legitimate costs of doing business. That's the only way you're going to get a vehicle for less money while the workers are getting better pay/benefits.

But that's never going to happen because people will cry foul and complain about socialism or something. But I see it all the time. I saw it in the government sector, I see it in the private sector all the time. Everyone wants to be paid more but wants to complain about other peoples pay and how much they have to pay to get items/goods/services. Until we relinquish some level of selfishness from someplace, no one will be happy and people will just continue to point the finger.
