"Can't have people or laborers demanding a 'living wage' now can we?"

Yeah, and we can't expect people to take some effort to make their lives better and instead depend on the government to give them jobs they aren't qualified for with wages that cause prices to increase, now can we? It never ceases to amaze me how many people in America want their lives to be completely controlled by the government. I mean, to each their own but just wow, American privilege and entitlement has gotten to an unsustainable level.

There are pros and cons to unions, like everything else. Most aren't against having unions, most are against being mandated to join a union. And, if you haven't ever worked for a shop with a large union presence, you know beyond any doubt that you are mandated. If you don't join, you get harassed and your daily work life becomes unbearable.
