Yes. The unions have been destroying our manufacturing base in this country long before Bush was even a blip on the horizon. In fact, he has done more than any other Republican President in ages to try and prop up the industry with steel tarriffs, much to the displeasure of fiscal conservatives. Sit yourself in the chair of a factory owner. Would you want your buisness operation dictated by your employees? Would you want to deal with the threats and destruction by union thugs such as mentioned in the above posted lawsuit? No...Labor unions destroy any feeling of employer-employee goodwill. Companies feel no loyalty to extortionists. Heavly unionized industries will be the first to go. Once the union parasites have no body to feed on they will die. And industry can rebuild under a free market concept.
