Unions cry because their jobs have been sent to Mexico and China?

For most industries this is correct. The auto industry is different, plants in Mexico and other countries are generally non union, low paying, and less regulated.
This makes them cheaper to run thus improving the bottom line for the car companies.

The UAW members know that the Big Three can't compete with the wages and costs that American workers require so they turn a blind eye to this practice.

In short, the UAW members are benefiting from the sweat and toil of foreign workers.

It's probably only coincidence that the UAW is a major reason for the plants in Mexico and other countries.
