"These Union workers you speak of contribute to their economies both locally and on a national level."
If businesses ran their affairs as labor unions must do in order to succeed under their present business model, the Department of Justice would be overwhelmed with antitrust work.
Their "contributions" are higher prices and lower productivity, along with the occasional bout of arson and assault against the EE-VIL "corporate money-grubbers."
Sometimes true, often false, same old mantra. Remember union workers in this country taught the rest of the world how to produce. We took second place to no one. There is a certain amount of corporate greed that has to be addressed here as well. In the end when these jobs go over-seas we all lose in the long run. I don't think you really want to be part of the cheering section. We are all floating on the same boat here.
