On the recordOctober 18, 2005
What is coming out of the conservative think tanks at this time, well, what is going to happen is these workers are going to get this extra money from the prevailing wage, and they are going to give it to the unions. Then it is just going to pad the union coffers. I do not know if you have the chart there or not, union membership in the three hardest hit gulf States, the highest was 10. The lowest was four, and another one was like five. Five percent of the workers were union workers. It was just nonsense, and then you look how many union members are there, none basically. None.
