Absolutely, unions and the minimum wage have priced American factories out of the market (even out of domestic markets). And on top of that, union rules and intervention have killed domestic quality.

As a final point, if we think Chinese and Indian labor are pricing American union workers out of the market...wait until real fully automated factories enter the marketplace (coming soon)...even Chinese labor will look expensive by comparison.

In fact, the era of labor is actually over...China and India are just catching the tail end of it.

Future labor will be software and hardware engineers.
