[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2221148, member: 24302"] No, not at all. I'm saying companies weigh the cost of doing business overseas vs. here and some choose the right to work state because labor is cheaper than union areas and shipping is cheaper than from overseas, among other things. How many companies are choosing to move large operations to union areas because they don't mind paying the higher labor costs, not to mention the costlier benefits? The right to work states are striking a balance between what companies are willing to pay here and what they aren't willing to deal with overseas. But they do have to pay enough for people to live in our more expensive country, so saying we'll end up like Honduras sweatshop workers is over the top. Bottom line they don't owe us a great living, so if it's too late for us, better make sure our kids prepare themselves for jobs that pay better, that companies are willing to pay for. [/QUOTE]
