Ed Asner claims that working in a union shop resulted in better wages and respect compared to working in a non-union open shop.

And I worked as a fiddle finisher there, but I worked there for about nine months. And I want to say that the difference between that closed shop plant, that union shop, as opposed to the open shop that I worked in, was the difference between night and day, and that's where I became the union man. Yeah! I don't see how I received it like a respectable worker, which I was never treated at the viewing plant. So I'm a union man, I've been so ever since.

Ed Asner asserts that non-union workers receive wages only because union shops established a higher wage scale.

The difference between working union and doing an honest day's work and working non-union, and by that I would point out the fact to you, that every time a non-union man works, the wages he's getting are there because a union shop established a level... Fuck yeah, Ed Hesner! Hell yeah! ...the most new union ain't reworking at slave wages himself. Goddamn right! ...creation of a higher wage scale.
