Your contradicting yourself. In a "right to work" State, if a Union carpenter is getting paid $50 an hour and a non-union shop is paying it's carpenters $20 an hour, how would the Union signatory shop stay in business?? If by paying the Union member $50 is driving the price up, then that must mean the non-union shop is charging $50 (matching the union shop) but only paying it's employee $20 and thus making more money for its owner. If that is the case, then it is the non-union shop driving the prices up. Union shops do not make near the profit margins a non-union shop generates. No, profit margins of owners is what drives prices up.

It is like the debate a public option would run insurance companies out of business. I don't see public universities running private ones out of business. I don't see the US Postal Service running Fedex and UPS out of business.

The argument is simply ridiculous. The people with the most to loose are the ones who profit the most. As such, they spend enormous amounts of money spreading this propaganda to those who don't know any better.
