And just exactly what did I say that was "union bashing".

Do they make on average 70K a year? Yes, it's a fact.

Is 70K a year a lot of money? I think most people on this site would agree that's not chump change. In context of the service they provide, I think most would also agree that it's a highly compensated job considering the skills necessary.

The idea of a Union is to help keep business from taking advantage of workers, not for the workers to gain an unfair advantage themselves.
