That's what happens when you control supply. Your politics determines whether it's to maintain standards or the wages of its members.

you don't control the supply though. Google will just offshore these jobs to India.

Unions control supply. It takes over 10 years to get into the longshoremans union, but once you do, you'll make $220k a year. It's because the union puts most of the work on the people trying to get into the union earning $14/hr so they can pay huge sums to the unionized worker. It's a cartel, like OPEC.
