Only 10% of the manufacturing labor force is unionized. The offshored jobs were overwhelmingly non union. You’ve been brainwashed by Free traitors.

The offshored jobs were overwhelmingly non union.

The vast majority of jobs lost in Michigan over the last 20 to 25 years were non union jobs. When I worked in a print shop, 99% of what we printed were automotive technical manuals and we even printed UAW contracts in our non union shop. I made a whopping $7.50 per hour in 93.

As NAFTA was being debated the owner warned us that if NAFTA passed our shop would close. He even told us that the company had already bought a plant in Mexico and our contract jobs would go there.

Within 2 months of NAFTA passing we finished out final runs and began disassembling the machines. About 5 of us were offered jobs at the HQ in Midland Michigan but none of us accepted.
