I've raised this question before and other than some really dumb comments it's been avoided, so I decided it was worthy of its own topic:
If illegal aliens are given some form of amnesty allowing them to work in the U.S., what will be the Union reaction when they start taking Union jobs?
I ask this question for several reasons: 1) The idea that illegal aliens will continue working sh*tty jobs after they're "documented" is unrealistic and naive. 2) Now legal aliens will naturally seek higher paying jobs, but will work at a rate less than those currently working the jobs the aliens seek. 3) Union workers are not highly skilled, despite what they think, and it would be a matter of months before illegal aliens acquire the skills necessary to fill those same jobs. 4) Any US corporation can easily shed any collective bargaining agreement by forming a new corporation.
I haven't heard this topic covered anywhere in the media, right or left, but think it's a legitimate question. Thoughts?
