It's really easy to ensure you receive whatever compensation you consider 'fair' - don't accept a job whose compensation is 'unfair'.

What if you live in a state with so called 'right to work' legislation. After you accept a job, you can be told your hours, compensation, benifits will be going down to save the company/government money. This may be after years of working for the same employer. Even if you are unionized, you could be legaly locked out. Individuals within the union who deside to work for less, and others, could be hired to replace you without recourse in many 'union busting' states. Or the company might close shop and relocate to a state with more 'favourable' labour laws. Or Mexico, or China.

I have no interest in being a part of the 'race to the bottom' that some of you advocate as sound economic policy.
