bump .. labor has a chance to make some significant gains ..... corporations are screwing up in the long term for good short term gains.

Why is it always the corporation's fault? This reminds me of the socialists who believe it is the job of everyone else to serve them. If you guys are so brilliant, why don't you make your own little mini-nation and not allow imports into it. Better yet, don't buy anything from outside your immediate family, or even better, don't buy anything from anyone else, just make everything yourself; your clothes, electronic goods, medical supplies and treatment etc.

It's called 'eating the seed corn'. They're firing en masse the same workers whose spending power could bring them out of the doldrums and sending the work and the money to India. How many of their customers are in India?
