There are many textile mill workers that have repeatedly told the unions to take a hike and many mills that are non-union, Norma Ray be dammed. There is something in a Southerner's spirit about defiance that you'll never understand.
Even at $10-12/hr. The southern worker still cannot compete with foreigners who do the same job for peanuts.

How do you know what I'd understand or wouldn't, sir?
I never said that this was a good thing either for the states in which it is happening or for the country, I merely said thirty years ago that the mills would eventually move on because the labor cycle that drove the mills from NE would repeat.
I actually thought back then that the mills would move to Mexico or South America.
