Was there not a famous strike in the Carolinas years ago wherein the textile workers went on strike and when they went back to work after getting some kind of agreement, the companies had moved production off shore and closed the plants?

As a practical matter, I don’t care if they do get paid $15 or more dollars an hour, if employed. But if the companies can replace them for less, so be it, it is called supply and demand.

I knew a guy once who told me he got something like $50 an hour, which was an enormous wage at that time. His one problem is he found about one hour a work a week at that rate during tax season doing a return for some dope who paid him that much. The usual fee then was closer to $15.
