After all if UNSKILLED labor gets X then highly skilled Union labor should get X+Y at the very least. I haven't seen anything that would make me think he was wrong, as the concept of a minium wage is economially stupid.

I did run a business and documented it on this post how I paid more than minimum wage and how I grew and why.
As for unions, I'd like to know where these unions are that can demand higher wages considering every union out there is struggling just to survive. Any airlines union, UAW or steel their companies are looking for ways to declare bankruptcy to get out of paying the retirees benefits.
