Agreed, Jim...just another form of "class envy".
However, your union situation is different from the public sector. If you don't perform, you don't get rehired. That's the private company's prerogative.
Public sector union employees are not paid with private money. They're paid with taxpayer money. If they aren't performing, they still seem to keep their job. It's the government way.
If the private company that hires out union guys like Jim has financial issues, they adjust accordingly. This could mean Jim not getting hired for a particular job, or getting hired at a lower rate (if he chooses to take it). The Governor of Wisconsin is trying to make adjustments, to keep the state from going bankrupt and people from getting laid off. He should be able to do this, since he is entrusted with taxpayers money, much like a private company CEO is entrusted with investors money.
