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.

Uh, no, actually Henry Ford taught workers that came here from around the world (mostly Europeans) how to produce and they later formed unions. Those workers worked hard (many still do), but they weren't the innovators.

OK, my friends and I will get together and extort money from you using picket lines around your home and place of business, threatening phone calls to your friends, beatings, and arson.

This is what I dealt with as a business owner until I finally fired everybody and shut down my business, whereupon I got several more death threats for depriving honest, hard-working thugs of their union dues payments.
