They'll end up paying for it regardless. His way of thanking them for trying to keep people in work. That's what unions do. What's the big deal?

Who Will Make Up The Healthcare Payment Difference When the Unions Get Their Shady Deal?

Non-Union workers. All the more reason to NOT hire Union labor.

Hell, don't buy union made products.

Hire illegal immigrant labor instead and products made in China and Mexico instead

That'll work wonders for the US economy!

And the number of workers whose jobs have been saved by unions dwarf that. And I think you meant 100,000, not 100.000. A hundren workers "ain't nothin'"

The vast majority of manufacturing jobs in the US are labor union jobs. Depending on what you're buying, for the most part, it's either buying something labor made or child labor sweat-shop made. You choose.

Any time you would like to substantiate that I would love to read it. I believe they have cost more jobs than they have saved. Outsourcing isn't happening because labor costs in the US are reasonable.
