“Private sector union participation rate is less than 7 percent of the workforce. Not defending unions but that isn’t the reason why jobs are offshored.”

Do you have any idea how far down the union percentage to labor has gone the last fifty years? It is all because of monopolistic power granted to the unions and their misuse of that power that has been behind the vast majority of loss of jobs in the US. Then I suppose one could add in other regulations on top, but most are there to support unions anyway...unions are horrible organizations that are going to die (thank God) whether the government continues to force them upon us or not. Look how well it worked out for the other communists and you will begin to understand maybe.

Don’t waste your time. He makes the SAME COMMENT every time that a union story is posted. We ALL know the damage they do...for if they were as irrelevant as he implies, there wouldn’t be RIOTING in Michigan today.

FACT: 95% percent of the private sector workforce is non-union.
