I'll try to stay out of this discussion as much as practical, but you guys know I'm mouthy. Just a couple of suggested considerations:
* If wages fell, then the buying power of those workers falls too. It's like when the Ford CEO was bragging to the union rep about the new robots and the fact that they don't strike for higher wages. The union rep said "Sure, but try selling your cars to these robots." Lowering wages might sound like a clever idea initially, but in the long run it may be a bit like pissing in your bath.
* Unions exist because of a certain kind of social pressure. Lords and Kings would like to ignore the peasants, but they do not....and there is a reason for that. Especially in a so-called "democracy." So, if you take away a specific set of protections for working people, are you thinking those protections will not be replaced from another source (wage laws, etc).
