Bob if management closes down a NON UNION manufacturing facility and off shores it to Asa, what good would outlawing unions do in that case? It is irrelevant. Most factories that have been off shored were non union to begin with.

I think that I was clear in my recent posts that unions are not the ONLY problem facing manufacturing plants, but they are a HUGE PROBLEM. There are plenty of other costs to doing business in this country beyond union, which is why plants leave the country.
But again, my point is that people are going to be VERY ANGRY when their plasmas go from $400 to $2000, in large part due to unions....if plasmas had ALWAYS cost $2000, then it wouldn’t matter - but it will matter nw. My point is that people have NO CLUE just how cheap things are because of off-shoring - and whoever ends off-shoring, be it Trump or anyone else, better be ready for some SERIOUS BLOWBACK unless they take some major steps to reduce the cost of producing stuff here (including unions, of course) and even then, we’ll still end up paying at least $1000 for that plasma that used to be $400.
But just to be clear, I’m still against off-shoring because I fear that this country is way too dependent on others for vital products...I’m actually with you guys, maybe for a different reason, but I plan to vote for Trump (for sure) and I’m willing to take the higher prices associated with bring our manufacturing back home...I just hope we do what we can to cushion the price shock.
