You are using a 7% figure for the cost of a car, and applying a 6% figure for the unionized persons.
BUT, those two are not equitable comparisons, as the entire cost of the car labor is UNION. We have not sold out anything. We have the greatest nation in the world, but for the policies established by the DEMOCRATS and REPUBLICANS in Congress! It is the policies allowed by those guys and gals that are destroying American wealth and human resources. They are committed to their path of "social justice" and "environmental justice"... or SOCIALISM by any other name.
American business folk are just trying to make a buck! Nobody is forced to buy ANY product or service, but most of us are looking at the price tag before we buy anything. Dollars only go so far!
It is not the fault of the bizness community, friend, it is you and your neighbor first and last! Consumers dictate what is being sold, by buying it!
Well, until the ACA.
True; on the tail end of the supply chain.
And most will buy due to the COST of the final product.
However, there are many factors involved that figure into what the final cost of that product will be, that the consumer has NO comtrol over.
Actually, except for the "big 3", most cars are made with non union labor thanks to Reagan's foresight and protectionist policies in the 1980's. If he had not done that then no cars would be made in the USA. Which free traders would not object to anyway. You guys don't really care about the USA and are bottom line people. I believe in free trade WITHIN the 50 states, with foreigners, not so much. I guess I have a lot in common with President Washington.
Karl Marx was a Free Trader. Look it up.
