Seems like this company was making a profit, but it wasn’t good enough for young sell out Glenn Prillaman. I don’t blame unions or government reg’s for any of this. Like you said, how can you compete with slave labor, seems to me tariffs should rule the day once again. These globalist sure have an agenda and it’s not in the majority of Americans best interest. Of course any idiot voted democrat would buy a foreign product if there was an american product laying right next to it, so much for supporting your union brothers and accelerating the decline of manufacturing. I actually support unions, those men and their relatives knew which side of their bread was buttered on and bought American. The idiots now a days are clueless. I use to buy this one brand of tennis shoes because it was the last American brand there was, then they off-shored, I’m fed up with it. Bring back tariffs.

Free Republic is a Conservative site, and that means pro-God, pro-liberty and pro-freedom. Simply put unions are communistic. Even a cursory examination of unionism and its history reveals that it was tool of international marxism. The movers and shakers of the union movement were servants of the Comintern, comprising a rogue's gallery of some truly evil, despicable men from Bill Haywood, Eugene V. Debs, Samuel Gompers, Walter Reuther, I.W. Able and numerous others.

Supporting unionism inevitably goes hand-in-hand with all forms of liberalism: atheism, abortionism and homosexualism. Because I truly love America, I hate unions.

I agree to a point. You have to be rational also. Unions such as the big Three automakers helped kill the U.S. auto industry. High wages and typically inferior workmanship killed them off. Lack of visions in the corporate headquarters also.
Small fact. Buying American. Years ago I bought a brass outdoor faucet at the Home Depot. It was made in China and was crap. I had to replace it in a few months. Bought another one from same place. It broke also. I got some sense and found a small hardware store. Bought American made faucet. It was more expensive but much better made. Was still on there when we moved out years later.
I wish it was always the case American made was better. I think more Americans would buy American if it was marketed better and the quality difference was made plain. They just have to make sure there is a quality difference.
