“The high wage begins down in the shop. If it is not created there it cannot get into pay envelopes. There will never be a system invented which will do away with the necessity for work.”
— Henry Ford
There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.
— Henry Ford

the workers’ own unions are failing them.

They already failed the American workers. - and America.

Little known is that most of these unions are part of international organizations and DO take orders from them. - They certainly share common goals that are not in the interests of America and the free market at all.

I was a member of two very large and powerful unions back in the 70s when real manufacturing was still around and I could plainly see the writing on the walls.

The demands were unsustainable. - and they never end. - Industry moved out.

What did you think would happen? That the whole world would embrace these Socialist, class warfare ideas?
Well, it didn’t. Free markets moved out, and now we are overrun by foreign trash working for peanuts.
THAT is what the unions did for America.

As for talk about a “living wage,” there is no such thing in a free market.

You are paid by supply and demand rationals or the businesses move out. - and they have

Consider this phrase:

Working conditions will be unbearable for the new generation of workers with unattainable production standards, gestapo tactics by management, no health and safety standards

pure unadulterated horsesh!t!

The exact same thing that they were saying when I was a steelworker in 73- 75, and is nothing more or less than Communist class warfare propaganda!

That phrase is nothing more than a communist rant. - In fact it reads exactly like Soviet era state writings.

This bunch can’t die off too quickly for me. My father is a farmer, and I’ve explained to him how these people with fewer skills, much lower risk, and almost no dedication whatoever have been stealing money from him in almost everything he has to buy to work the farm.

Funny, the Japanese companies seem do be able to build cars without the help of the Unions....how could that be possible??? /s
