Lemon, you trying to teach politics of collective bargaining to a former Teamsters negotiator,
Of course they will negotiate lower wages, if that is their market reality, $12.50 is a political sop for useful tools....
That makes no sense. It's not your "market reality" if there is a minimum wage law to support a higher wage. That's your minimum starting point for negotiating, not lower.
Again, please provide ONE single example of any union that ever took a lower wage than the existing municipal minimum.
