As educated and credentialed persons, there are better ways to gain leverage and preserve value. Most other professions do this through state licensing with educational/practice/insurance/signage/etc. requirements. I mean, think about it: It's easy enough to get around the unions with scabs, but you can't just take some guy with a degree in civil off the boat and give him a job. He has to have his five years in and his PE before he can start signing plans.
