I spent 20 years working in a union enviroment so I have a good idea of what's going on behind the scenes.
Yet most of those people in unskilled labour are making a good wage because they belong to a union. Let the market place decide what they are worth and we'll see some reality to thier wages.

People who work on the rigs get paid a premium for their jobs, whereas english majors work in Chapters. Who has more education is a poor argument at best.

Rig pigs get paid the wages they do because the market places decides what they are worth through supply and demand. Just like the vast majority of jobs today that don't have a union holding the public hostage when they don't get what they want.
