Define over-paid...

Making above market wages, then throwing in no-deductible insurance, then throw in a pension on top of it. Then add on top of that zero accountability for doing your job.

I'm not a fan of unions at all. They contributed to the near demise of the domestic auto industry. They cause local governments to pay big bucks for labor.

In general, labor unions are very good for the people the benefit, it's own members, and not good for the people they provide services for.

The UAW recently has done a good job being more competitive in terms of labor costs, but they're still providing labor far above market prices.
