Maybe somebody out there who has a background in legal history
can answer this -- is there any way that a union which unfairly
prevents an employer from hiring non-union labor can be found in
violation of anti-trust laws?  As somebody pointed out, in
effect a union has a monopoly on labor, and can have just as bad
an effect on the economy as a corporation that has a monopoly on
the capital in a given industry. I wonder if the phrasing of the
anti-trust laws would allow such an application...
