Once upon a time unions meant something; an ideal and more importantly respect for the working man and woman. $10 an hour is a fair wage, yet the lawsuit against CCS is nothing more than a self-serving attempt to keep all the work themselves. Of course the "union" arbitrator ruled on behalf of the union. This kangaroo court should have never taken place and real justice would have required an impartial arbritrator - like a judge or jury. It's ludicrous that crime is going to be encouraged because these youth no longer have jobs and their one lifeline is being threatened by the unions. Shame on the Department of Labor - their "partners" in Youthbuild for not standing up and saying this is something all Americans should believe in and we will not kill this organization and its mission because of your self-preservation desires.
