Don’t you get it? American jobs paying $15-20 an hour with benefits and gov’t taxes driving the cost up to $25-30 an hour along with massive restrictions and regulations by OSHA, EPA, Labor Dept., Interior Dept., will come back in droves from China to make $.05 trinkets to throw in a Happy Meal! /s

You are absolutely correct. Even if a company could somehow be forced to manufacture in the US, there is no way they could produce a profit competing with China's slave labor. The Union thugs are another huge problem that drove out Jobs. They drove Eastern Airlines out of business in Miami and we lost thousands of jobs in one day, and 18,000 total. Fortunately we have other industries, and foreign investment. We are in great shape compared to other major cities such as Michigan and Chicago

Just look at foreign car companies that build plants in America. The UAW can’t stand it and try every year to unionzed them, usually to no avail. Eventually they’ll get the feds, bought by unions, to punish them.

If the illegal NRLB can “force” Boeing to not open a plant they build in SC (right to work state) then what incentive is there to keep jobs here? Much less attract more foreign investment.

GM/Chrysler were almost forced to deal with the UAW (in a dispute federal arbitration always sides with labor) and went bankrupt. How Ford wasn’t in the same boat surprised me.

GM built Saturn just south of me in Spring Hill, TN and “promised” they’d hire from the local area. Instead, the UAW “forced” them to use Detroit refugees that came down here and whined like babies about right to work, etc.

Union workers are mostly parasites. One went face to face with me and told me I couldn’t take care of myself without a union. I asked him if his union would cover the medical cost of my foot going into his a$$.
