I have had to practically sneak out-of-state labor into my store to work on remodel. It never occured to me that the reason was to avoid having a wiseguy or two show-up.

I'm in favor of unions. Any organization is prone to corruption, so I why single-out the unions for it.

Besides, they ultimatly produce a higher standard of living. In some industries being hired in the union is alot like getting a promotion. This is how it went when I did stage-hand work. Being union meant more work for better pay, but only experienced people with connections were invited into the union.
