Majority of Companies that outsourced to China did so in the late 90's when the economy was fine and profits were high.
Carrier was making a profit here in the states as well.
The problem is not the unions or workers but the shareholders wanting more and more money.
There are people protesting for a $15 minimum wage
We know their limit
What is the shareholder limit?
The workers in carrier were making $34/hour. We know their limit

There is no limit to their greed is the answer when they can sell out their country for more money by utilizing slave labor.
The biggest problem is Corporate Lobbyists own our government and there is no power from labor challenging their authority because they have the deepest pockets.
