It STILL amazes me that my step-dad made nearly 70k a year working for Warner Gear..............pushing a broom.........Granted he was there for 30 years, but 70K??

Maybe it's not the unions but the greed of the companys, How many non-union jobs have been shipped out of this country? Most companys now have all their answering services based in India.....not because the telephone answering union(LOL) was to expensive but because they will answer a phone for 1.00 a day.
Nafta was a complete failure and now most companys are pulling out of Mexico(which is hilarious) because their labor rates are too high and moving production to China or South America,such as the largest outboard plant in the world built where?? China
