pla`s are good for the worker,and no emplyer is made to pay double benefits,simple lie.pla`s are good for worker and fair for companies,because there labor costs are all the same,now they have to find another way to be the lowest bidder,besides just cutting the labor costs,like cutting the waste in the ceo`s pay and the office workers pay.ceo`s pay used to be 30x the workers pay in the `70`s,now it is 30,000x.fact,and no union worker is getting rich off of their union wage,it is just a livable wage,any worker who is in a union makes more than their non-union conter-parts,the reason union membership is down is because of companies shipping there jobs overseas.90& of workers would love to make prevailing wage,which is what the government says a person should make for there trade to live above the poverty line,who would not want that,most people who are non-union make about a third of prevailing wage.the reason more workers aren`t union now,is because of how hard republicans have changed the NLRB`s laws on unionizing,it favors big corps.with the decline in union membership,the decline in the middleclass has followed directly,check all the statistics i have quoted and see if i am lying,the hardest thing is to organize a company,it takes years to get a vote,and all pro-union workers are fired by the timethe vote happens and everyone else is scared by then,these are the facts,people who knew the truth would want to be union,but it`s to hard,UNITED WE BARGAIN,DIVIDED WE BEG!!! why do corps hate unions so much,that tells you it is good for worker,they like their “open door” policy,if you don`t like it here,the door is open,to leave! wake up america,what`s wrong with a worker having a say in their job and some security,and a contract,you have a contract for everything else from corps,even for your cell phone,your car,your home,but they don`t want you to have one for your work and compensation,scumbags

pla`s and prevailing wage are very good for worker,and also no company is forced to double pay for benefits,out right lie.heres how i see it,workers are paid a livable wage,so all contractors are on a even field there,now they must cut other waste,like high ceo salaries and office waste,and bid the lowest,without taking it out of the actual workers pay,and workers are only 13% union,because it is impossible to organize a company,it takes years and all the pro-union workers are fired by the time the vote comes around,these are the facts,no non-union worker in the construction trades make more than a union worker,and a union worker only makes a fair wage,they are not getting rich,ceo`s used to make 30X a wokers pay in the 70`s,now it is 30,000x`s,pla`s seem fair now,and i am a republican,but as union membership went down,so did the middle class`s salaries,these are the facts,very simple,and you can`t deny anything i said,check the statistics to see if i`m lying,union yes,obama no
