Well, obviously, some folks have been taken in by management's efforts
to denigrate unions.  The obvious answer is to let management move all
the jobs that are "labor intensive" to forign countries where they can
get away with paying people salaries of $0.30 a day.  Of course, when
management moves your job to India because even programers make a lot
less money over there and will probabally accept a far lower level of
benifits also, not to mention substandard working conditions (according
to what we are used to anyway)....    But those folks have no laws to
establish the rights of workers, and any management loves to take
advantage of a situation like that.

I think that we may need a couple more laws, to prohibit management from
moving jobs out of the country to escape unions.  The fact is that factory
management has resisted modernization and even equipment maintainance,
which has led to the dropping of American productivity, which results
are quoted by management as being caused by "inflated demands by union
labor".

And now that the great union buster is president....
