not at all to the first part and they don't get carried.

exceptional people shouldn't and don't set the average wage. Average people should (and did up until the last 15 or so years). I don't understand your use of average and unproductive as interchangeable. They aren't. Unproductive workers typically get fired regardless of unions, and sometimes because of them. If you're in a union and you're working harder to make up for a guy who is less skilled or lazy, you're going to complain to your rep and he's either going to improve or be out of work.

stop buying the anti-union hype that they only exist to promote stupid or lazy people. If that was true, this country wouldn't have been one of the greatest in terms of industry and innovation for a century.
