Reply #92: the good years were due in part to the Unions

[dugaresa]

because the not so good years were before that from 1880's to the 1950's there were huge struggles between labor and corporations.

it lasted no more than 20 years until the Corporations decided to move the unskilled and skilled labor work overseas or across the border.

that is how they "got us back".

By the mid 1970's the move was on to find the cheapest labor sources to keep costs low.

The problem today is that transit costs a lot and so we might see those jobs come back as soon as the backs of the American people are sufficiently broken after 30 years of anti-union propaganda.
