Take a look at production costs and the price of consumer goods. All of the nations where the governments are progressive/socialist which sympathize with big labor have very high costs of living.I've heard German capitalists felt the same incentives to move their "factories" in the 1990s, BUT the German labor unions had voting members sitting on the board of directors of the corporations they sold their labor to and rejected the plan.I can certainly agree with that. IMHO, nothing has hurt low income workers in the US more than globalization. Putting American workers in direct completion with foreign workers making $2/hr was really dumb
Could it happen here?
Take a look at the difference in the cost of living between New Jersey( a union heavy state with extremely high costs for public services) and say Texas, where public services are far less costly, work just as well if not better with much less red tape.
For get the "unions are my God" nonsense.
