One of the best ways to keep the union out of a shop is to pay the employees
competitively and treat them fairly. Every time the non-union refinery has to
raise wages 50 cents an hour to keep its top workers from sliding across town
to the union job, we can be pretty sure the management of the non-union plant
gets up a new head of anti-union steam.

You're probably right that wages in Texas refineries would be the same across
the board without union representation.
Probably somewhere around $5.75 an hour.

right.

that swoosh we just heard was this concept going over the head of the foxnews
crowd in here.
