Remember the Hollywood shlockudrama called Norma Rae starring Sally Field? It was about agitators union organizing the textile mills. At the time the movie was made there were hundreds (thousands?) of textile mills throughout the South. Almost every town had some tie to the textile industry. Now you will find nothing but empty mills, the machinery moved to Central America, Dominican Republic, or Bangladesh.
Nothing to show for unionizing but lost jobs and empty mills.
And prior to the mills moving South they were in the Northeast, especially Lowell,MA——and they moved South to avoid unionization.

Union or non-union American labor can’t compete with foreign countries that pay their workers pennies what anyone in America would make.
Nothing to show for unionizing but lost jobs and empty mills.

You are right on every point. And you used to be able to go to North Carolina for quality furniture. Everything gone to China. All of it is crap now.
