[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 857884, member: 13254"] [COLOR=#8b4513][FONT=comic sans ms][I][B]I agree that we need more jobs right here, in America, that's a no brainer. I don't see how a stronger union can make that happen. Now that you have spoken the union cheers of solidarity etc (no disrespect to you meant), please address HOW the unions can make this happen. I can remember when these traditionally American companies began "outsourcing" jobs to other countries one of the reasons they always stated was the higher wages that the unions insisted on thus lowering the profits of the company. I'm sure there were other reasons also, but that was usually their biggest claim. What good does it do a union when wages gets too high to allow a company to make the profits they need to stay in business. A closed business or one moved to India provides no jobs here. The domino effect of the housing bubble burst caused the loss of many middle class jobs all across the employment spectrum, strong unions could not have kept that from happening. People stopped buying new houses, contractors were going bankrupt, their sub-contractors and the perspective workers were loosing their jobs because there was no work to do. Unions could not have saved that. IMO, one of the biggest factors in the decline of the middle class in that too many middle class people don't have enough common sense to know they can't afford to buy a half million dollar house, own a boat, jet skis, a vacation home in the mountains and a new car every two years. We, the middle class, have to realize we can not live like the rich and famous. So again, exactly HOW, in what manner, can strong unions save the middle class? [/B][/I][/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
