About 100' from where I am sitting right now are union workers who are making almost $50 an hour, + health benefits, + retirement, + + + + + to put in screws with air tools. My 7 year old nephew could do what they do. $50/hr to do a minimum wage job.

Can you really not see how things like that force companies overseas?
Unions are at their weakest since WW2. They are not the primary issue.

Besides, union pay wasn't an issue until corporations forced politicians into free trade agreements. Now companies get tax credits for firing Americans and employing Chinese.
