Construction Labor Practices
Check out this Whitney Condo Grand Opening video on MNstories. I was there to check out the posh digs (and hopefully free wine), but unexpectedly found construction labor unions demonstrating out front. Mike Hatch showed up, too. The issue: During demolition, the union allegedly documented a worker or workers making $6/hour cash, with inadequate safety equipment. Naturally the developer disputes this, and says a certain amount of non-union jobs are a necessity of the marketplace.
Anybody have more info that would shed light on this?

Yeah, here's some info.
Screwing with the free market and promoting collectivism results in everyone getting the shaft. Look at France.
Unions had a time a place, but its not here and now.
Its not just unions, its the over regulation of the industry as well. Check out the work of Edward L. Glaeser.
Here's an intro.
