Sure, but unions generally cover higher-earning 'blue collor' style workers, who are in it for a career, not just a job. Think of minimum wage as a giant union covering *everyone* in the US. We've collectively decided that the least amount that's acceptable to pay (most) workers is this minimum wage, and our representatives have implemented that policy.
