Caymen asks:
What is wrong with that? Strong-arming is not the answer. Collusion is not the answer.
As a non-union individual I'm likely never to be able to negotiate higher pay than my union counterparts. For one simple reason; because even if I am worth more, the union reps will cry "unfair wages" and then force equality.
Why would a company want to pay someone more than someone else? Because the person is WORTH more.
Pay people what they are worth...not what you are FORCED to pay them in some strong-arm manner.
That's what I say.
But then, I'm confident in my value.
It seems to me that its the mediocre that need to unite to force employers to pay more for their services. The above-average and the stellar don't want such collusion. It takes away from their ability to negotiate and receive the higher pay that they are worth.

I see nothing wrong with that. Why/how could you negotiate yourself a better deal than the Union could negotiate. An even better question is why would the company WANT to pay you more than they could pay someone else?
