The reason that it is such a big deal for Democrats is that union wage scale is calculated from the minimum wage. So when Congress increases the minimum wage $0.50, for example, . . . they care about their Union cronies, whose pay goes up by many multiples of what the minimum wage went up

What are you talking about? I've seen many, many union contracts and haven't ever seen this.

I've been told this on several ocassions, but I can't find anything on google about it. So I concede the point until such time as I can confirm ot deny it.

There may actually be some out there, but the number of workers covered would be so miniscule thatthey wouldnt have any major economic effect. Some that dont: Electrical Workers, Culinary Workers, Grocers, Longshoremen,Security Guards.
The reason I doubt you will find any of significance: It would be one of the biggest bargaining blunders an employer/industry could make, and any labor negotiator who entered into such a contract would be fired. Companies will not turn over control of one of if not their most significant costs of doing business to an outside influence.
