"Building Trades Union are Bullies" at Long Harbour, Newfoundland

A caller from VOCM Back Talk is bringing up a great issue. The bullies in the Building Trades Union. This union is a closed shop and refuses to allow certain people to have jobs. I've always said, unions are great as long as you're in one. But if you're outside the union, you're out of luck. The union demands that people get paid an exorbitant salary, say $50 per hour. Then a worker who is well-qualified and jobless is willing to work for $30 per hour CANNOT find a job, and he is forced to remain jobless.

Sure, have a union, but you should not force everyone to be in it.
