Union employees are less then 15% of the labor force and dropping, that excuse is worn out and tired. The 60 THOUSAND or so jobs lost in furniture manufacturing (now in China) from NC were not Union jobs, they're people (many of whom) are now sitting on welfare unemployed and thanks be we can save a dollar or two on cheaply made Chinese junk furniture while paying out ten or twenty dollars in extra taxes or debt spending to cover the terminally unemployed. Whoopy. As always, you and yours ignore the social costs that society has to pick up and pay, that out weigh the few dollars saved.
Oceanview said "those 25000 GM workers who lose their auto jobs, they are going to be able to find other jobs at the same pay level. right?" That doesn't have anything to do with % of the labor force, it was a question about those GM employees.

You and yours ignore the fact that despite job losses in the furniture industry, average real hourly wages have still risen since NAFTA.
