[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 3072412, member: 66082"] In America, we have a whole political party that is anti-labor and anti- making blue collar jobs lucrative. I remember when the auto industry was renegotiating its contract during the GWBush administration. And Fox News was constantly spewing about how much auto workers made and how they destroyed the auto industry. This kind of thinking dominates conservatives that union wages destroyed the Detroit auto industry. Instead the model for the American auto industry is contract work with no permanency and crap benefits and low wages. That's what Republicans want for those workers. Whenever those workers try to unionize you have elected US Senators and Governors threatening those workers. That kind of sustained attack against labor is what makes blue collar jobs less valuable in America. So if Mike Rowe isn't addressing those kinds of issues, he is just peeing into the wind. [/QUOTE]
