Bingo!

How much is this due to high union wages.

They are not necessarily always bad. Ben Davis is local outfit that produces a WIDE range of sizes for work jeans, where the black and white are actually presentable for almost any occasion. I believe they are union, but I could be wrong. Dan Post and others make quality boots. American made. Nice 'stetson' hats. Generally American made.

I think you can still buy American. The suit can be tailored by an American, wherever the fabric comes from. And so on.

For sure part of the problem. But the other half is we are competing with some companies that are gov't owned. They are just jobs programs for these countries, and wouldn't know a profit if it bit them in the butt.

In my opinion, it's got everything to do with high Union wages. We subsidize out farm industries, our auto industries, our steel industries, I'm not sure that everywhere we have union manufacturing that there's not either a subsidy or a tariff involved.

How much is this due to high union wages.

The article doesn't say anything about a union workforce, and says that wages average $13 per hour. But how low would you make the wages when you are competing with countries where the wage is only a few dollars per day?
