You said "union made screwdriver," thus implying specifically that labor was the big reason manufacturing was moving to China. It's not. Don't change your story simply because you were caught not knowing what you were talking about.
Get it?
Guess what, part of the regulations you’re talking about driving up the cost is that every state is not a right to work state.
Everything from the raw material to end product is done by union labor, and the regulations will not allow you to change that.
