AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Union workers make more than non union workers independent of race, gender or work performed. The charts breaking out race & gender don’t reveal a fair comparison. Readers don’t know if the jobs are equal or what is being measured at the Union level to cause disparity’s. When I ran a union shop, the Foreman made the most, no discrimination for race or gender. Pay was defined by skill level. Entry level apprentices made the least but had a benefit package too!
