We do have unions, of course, but to many DU-ers, when you say it's a "right to work state" they seem to think that means "NO unions"

I can remember working construction in the early 80s during the summer and working with the electricians. One of them was complaining that because the unions had control of the wages set for our contract (Brown & Root, long before they became KBR) that he was making 20-cents an hour less than if they didn't set such things. I had no real idea what he was talking about and didn't care as I was making a decent wage as an electrician's helper. When you're 19 years old and making $2000 per month for a summer position forty years ago, that's a damn fine wage to me!
