I support these union workers. Lots of freepers are too stupid to see the difference between them and gubbermint unions. They just lump all unions together so as not to stress their minds too much. Outsourcing...not a big deal to them. These union workers are tax payers not tax eaters

Its nice to live on a cloud

All unions are enemies of economic freedom. You are correct that government unions are even more onerous because taxpayers have no representative to offset the excess demands of labor cartels. The excesses of public sector unions do not diminish the evils of private sector unions.

Labor cartels exist solely to control the supply and price of labor. They obtain this power through government with favorable laws that compel employers to deal with labor cartels and compel individuals to join labor cartels.

Labor cartels alone are not the reason for outsourcing but they are a major cause. Their onerous demands on compensation and work rules make firms non competitive. Government policies involving taxes and regulations also encourage outsourcing although labor cartels support most of these policies. Labor cartels are vigorously supporting legislation that will enhance their power at the expense of consumers and taxpayers. The only alternative is to outsource production and employment.
