13. Unions are trying to expand..
They're trying to get into walmart, more grocery stores and even e-markets such as amazon.com and other places that i'm sure have hordes of minimum wage workers.

Unions couldn't thrive in skimming these people there dues unless the minimum wage was $7.00 and a minumum wage hike with the unions being the lobbyists would give them leeway in to getting into more organizations.

Me personally, i think unions are great in the right environment - however i don't think unions are necessary in minimum wage jobs because of the costs and politics involved that would still eat away at the bottom line of these minimum wage workers.
