There is no doubt that all of this is true

I'm sure some of it is true, and that's appalling enough. But much of it too is just union hype. The unions that chased those jobs overseas in the first place.

I doubt the unions expect to ever see these jobs here again. A more likely scenario (besides this quietly going away) is for overseas manufacture to move to countries with names other than China.

The US simply cannot compete domestically with cost of goods in some asian countries and India. They are orders of magnitude cheaper, not some small %.
