Unions are the top donors of Yes On 97 and the ones who will benefit the most.  The union's to hell with everyone else attitude is why I'll never belong to one.  Anyone who thinks that the companies will absorb the tax is delusional.  Everything from apple juice to zippers will go up in price. Maybe when the price of school supplies, nurses scrubs and public infrastructure rises to the point of lay offs the union folks will start feeling the pain the taxpayers feel.
