the rich elites have ridden on the backs of the working class for a long time and it has increased exponentially the last 10 yrs, where the rich have increased their wealth drastically while the worker might get lucky to have a 2% raise, let alone keep their jobs....
when an American industry can dump all its obligations and show up in another country to produce their goods leaving thousands unemployed, without pay nor bennies, then something is wrong....
and the workers have noting to say about it..
..they'll get lectured about how their huge wages, whatever that means, weren't cost effective....
but at the same time, does the product of the big company go down in price?.....hardly..
I'm sure some govt or military retiree safe in their fat pension will come on and dispute this....
US automakers were making so much money in the 70's that they blew off reliability and product life (cheaped out on product development and quality) and conceded to union demands for wages and benefits.
I'm sure some union member safe in his fat pension will disagree that union demands and lazy company negotiators have any fault in the resulting loss of US employment.
