Ruminations and Ramblings
A journal of thoughts and ideas that occur to me usually when I’m in the middle of doing something else… like driving, or trying to fall asleep.

    Because they can’t afford you, that’s why.
    Filed under: Society

    Employees at Chrysler’s Kenosha Engine Plant are upset because Chrysler is closing the plant and moving operations to Mexico. No one likes to see jobs lost – especially when the jobs are outsourced. But…

    Many years ago, unions brought about some important changes in labor that protected laborers from abusive treatment by employers. However, I firmly believe (and so does my democrat husband) that labor unions are now redundant and detrimental to American business. American manufacturers can no longer afford American workers – especially unionized workers – so they are taking their plants outside the country to places with cheap labor. The thing is, what’s cheap to us can be wealth to the workers hired in other countries.

    I can’t help but wonder how long it will be before the unions realize they have bitten the hands that feed them one too many times.
