correct!..this was the impetus for companies to look overseas in the first place!
this happened because the unions demanded better wages and benefits,and GOT them!..then the "greedy" ass companies raised prices on everything to offset the increased standard of living,but they f88ked themselves by going too high on the pricing,and the american consumer "'balked" at paying the higher prices,and the "rest" as they say is history!..i hear the largest retailer in the world is contemplating a name change to "bejing mart!"
