Re: 24%

Unions are bad for business, bad for America.  In a nutshell, unions drive up prices because:
1.  The workers always want more money
2.  Always want better benefits
3.  Have to pay "dues" (so they need more money)
4.  Are compensated above their worth.

In general, union workers do make more than non union workers, and are never satisfied.  They also have better benefits than non union workers, and are never satisfied.  Since union delegates and executives are not going to take less money, they have to raise the price of goods and services to cater to the workers.  Eventually, this cycle leads to jobs going to cheaper labor (overseas), just like the auto industry.

Union workers are also, usually, paid to be "task specific" labor, meaning, you are not allowed to help someone else do their job.  You can only do your portion of the work.  This leads to job costs and deadlines running over, which, again leads to higher costs.    In order for unions to be a good thing, they need to be restructured, and worker productivity and enthusiasm has to be instilled
