Bob, let's get real. You and I agree that factories have been off shored to Asia and elsewhere. So was EVERY factory shut down and shipped off a union shop? or were some of them non union? IF they were non union then unions were not the problem.

It is insane to be in favor of off shoring a factory, even to kill a union. That is like saying the killing a cancer patient is curing them.

I admitted earlier that there are plenty of CRAPPY MANAGERS at non-union plants and that non-union plants get shut down.

So plants get shut down without unions wrecking them...and plants get shut down BECAUSE of unions wrecking them. There isn’t anything that government can do to assure decent management...plants will always shut down because of it - but we don’t need to be forcing them to close for other reasons - like excessive regulations, and yes, unions. That is something that can be controlled and they serve NO PURPOSE these days, other than to destroy our manufacturing base.

Also it’s not insane to off-shore factories to kill a union, it’s worked out JUST GREAT for many companies. What is insane is allowing what amounts to a TOTALLY UNNEEDED tax in this country just to produce things here - at least environmental and safety taxes can make a moral case (at least to some extent). Unions simply provide NOTHING GOOD to manufacturing.
