2.1 million; Illinois, 0.8 million; Michigan, 0.8 million; Pennsylvania,
0.8 million; and New Jersey, 0.7 million) though these states accounted for
only about one-third of wage and salary employment nationally.

Among the five states reporting union membership rates below 5.0 percent
in 2007, North Carolina posted the lowest rate (3.0 percent). The next low-
est rates were recorded in Virginia (3.7 percent), South Carolina (4.1 per-
cent), Georgia (4.4 percent), and Texas (4.7 percent). Four states had union
membership rates over 20.0 percent in 2007--New York (25.2 percent), Alaska
(23.8 percent), Hawaii (23.4 percent), and Washington (20.2 percent).



Of course you know em all.... Seems like the tolerant North has all the unions... The racist south just hires whos best for the job...
You still haven't addressed my comment. WHICH UNIONS?????? We are speaking of CONSTRUCTION.

Nope, got a sign right out front that says "WHITE MALES ONLY". If you get past the sign, they'll give you a racially biased test that only white males can pass.

Nothing to fancy, a 2 lane will be fine.
