    Come on, at least throw a link out there when you say stuff like that.

    If Kroger employees earn less, I would think it's because their earnings supplicated with benefits. If not, then I imagine any disgruntled union employee would go to their union to resettle pay.

      If you wish to remain ignorant, let it be so. If you had any actual curiosity instead of "agenda" you would do your own research and find out while the UFCW wants $15/hr at Walmart they let their workers at Kroger hire in at less than $8/hr in your average wage state. Kroger and other chains are taking the page right out of Walmart and hiring part-time while purging their full-time employees esp those with any seniority that allows them to make anything near $15/hr. Learn the facts and don't doubt me, you just make yourself more of a fool............."If not, then I imagine any disgruntled union employee would go to their union to resettle pay." .... LOL,... get a clue.

        That is exactly why need a national minimum of $15 an hour.

        No, I want to know where you're getting your facts and numbers, instead of having everyone else wallow out into the vague and huge morass which is the Internet trying to hold up your statement for you.

        Because as it stands, The only recent article I'm getting that seems similar to what you're talking about is roughly 2 years out of date, with all the cited links gone. http://economics21.org/commentary/unions-talk-don%E2%80%99t-deliver

        Also, I will doubt everything and everyone if I see fit; keeping your mouth shut just so someone doesn't call you a name seems a pointless exercise if that's the only risk.
