There is no way a union worker is cheaper than a contractor.
Wages
Benefits
Employment taxes
Training costs
Workers comp
Retirement benefits
What u see on the check is not all the cost of labor. I'm my industry, our union guys make around $25/hr on their check, and we pay another $11+ in benefits. But we also have another 28% in labor burden, which is FUTA/SUTA, SS & Medicare, workers comp, liability insurance, ect.
So every dollar u see we pay another $0.28 for burden. This is commercial side, industrial side I would imagine would be higher.

All I know about unions is that I've worked as a contractor with union hands and I hated every one of those lazy no working bastards.
I threw one against the side of a truck in the shell norco parking lot for telling me that I was working too hard :csb:
