The war on unions made it acceptable to buy foreign.Not really..Funny.no, unions, by artificially exploding the cost of labor drove jobs overseasYes the republican war on unions helped push lots of jobs to China.By the 1970’s unions had become their own worst enemyCurse them good union wages.
lazy and incompetent workers were driving big corporations crazy
so the unions boasted high wages till the factory closed and moved to china
Big Labor is by no means faultless at all, listen to how the union bosses earn a tremendous living off the backs of the working men on the docks.
While also increasing wages for many. Where is the promised prosperity when unions were gone? Repubs don’t talk about that anymore.
Unions increase wages for the few, their members, while driving non-members out. That's the entire point of a Union.
As far as your second comment/question....what do you mean? When have Unions been "gone" they aren't....they still exist. Maybe give me a time frame...there are, admittedly, a lot less, but mainly because people don't need them much anymore
More unions, more increased wages.
Our lack of wage growth, slow economy and growing inequality says they are needed.
I don't have to be a Republican to tell you that Toyota, Kia, Nissan etc were making better, longer lasting cars then GMC was making....at a cheaper price. That was obvious.Not when repubs are telling everyone unions are lazy and overpaid.not really....they just made a more affordable product. Nobody is going to buy a car for 10000, when you can get one for 5000, simply because they support Unions.The war on unions made it acceptable to buy foreign.Not really..Funny.no, unions, by artificially exploding the cost of labor drove jobs overseasYes the republican war on unions helped push lots of jobs to China.By the 1970’s unions had become their own worst enemyCurse them good union wages.

That's just bullshit. The 1920's were a nadir in American unionism, and incomes were booming.
OTOH, after prohibition was repealed and the wise guys got into labor racketeering and union membership soared, the 1930's were slim pickings for jobs.
