Non-Union workers criticizing the compensation of Union workers is like...
Military personnel safely stationed stateside criticizing the hardship duty pay, family separation allowance, hostile fire-imminent danger pay and other compensation earned by soldiers in a combat zone.
But actually it's even worse...
Because the benefits received by all workers today (weekend, overtime, sick leave, etc) were hard won by union members.

If you think the struggle for unions workers shouldn't be compared to the military, please review the
