Unions and their goons drive up the cost of their labor to the point it becomes more productive to have it done out of the country. Then they wonder why their jobs go away. Funny how it works.

This union bashing makes some feel good - but it is not true. Are you trying to tell everyone that every job we have lost is a union job? Of course not. Also, I am amazed at the huge salaries that are quoted for union jobs.

While the union did have something to do with work going overseas, that argument is way outdated and overexaggerated.

Try greed, corporate and political. Try government involvement in this debacle. Try the government uses our tax dollars to grease the way for these companies to move overseas.

The old "union is to blame for all our problems" is years out of date.

Look at the types of industry in the article. These are unionized industries.
