They were demanding wages and benefits that enabled workers to raise families, healthcare and someday retire.So you claim it was unions that cut wages and benefits and insisted that jobs go overseasBrilliant idea! Let's nearly double the tax rate on the same people we're expecting to create jobs, invest in R&D, donate to charities, keep large amounts of money in long-term investments, and provide good employee benefits.
We must protect our super wealthy. Look at all the good they have done since we adopted supply side economics.......sent jobs overseas, cut retirement and healthcare benefits, froze wages
All while keeping the money for themselves
Actually it's the unions and American consumers responsible for that, not the wealthy.
No, I'm claiming their demands priced us out of the world market. When Americans have a choice between two similar products, they always choose the cheapest one, even if it means quality has to suffer. As wages increased, so did the price of goods the company sold.
They fought to maintain a standard of living not to get wealthy
It was the executives who saw massive increases in compensation, not union workers
