I'm not arguing that on-average union workers don't make more, only that we're in a high demand and fast-moving field with rampant innovation.

How much innovation happens in unionized fields?

How much work did Uber have to do to essentially go full on rogue to get around the system built up by taxi unions?

How much union work ends up getting either automated or outsourced to countries without union workers?

Do lost jobs count against that average pay stat?

Look at the hoops that Tesla has had to jump through just to sell cars to you directly? Those local car dealers...that's a sales union.

I mean, the National Labor Relations Board gets called in when Boeing wants to open a plant in the south east. We're not even talking off-shoring or cutting jobs.

Unions, like anything, have cyclical benefits. There are times when they make sense. There are others when they don't.
