Can anyone name one company forced overseas by the Union?

Depends on exactly how you wanna calculate it.

Levi Strauss a union company, was forced overseas, because they could not make a profit paying union wages. Even the union agreed, when after 3 straight years of losing money they decided to move manufacturing to central america.

Now Levi Strauss would not have been profitable, even without union labor.

IE: the Union was paid $15.00 an hour plus benefits.

If they had went non union and paid $7.00 an hour with a smaller benefit package,

The company would have still not been profitable, due to imported blue jeans made overseas that were paying $1.50 an hour in wages and basically no benefits.

2. You can look at the auto industry moves to mexico, that was purely a wage and benefit issue.

That's why chrysler and GM had to file bankruptcy, to break the union contracts, otherwise they could not remain profitable.

3. less than 10% of american manufacturing is Unionized

Blaming unions for anything is pissing in the wind, when 90% of manufacturing is non union.

4. Companies out source for one reason and one reason only.

To find a cheaper source of labor, not for tax breaks nor any other reason,

Unions have nothing to do with company's overseas the Chinese work 6 12 hour days for 30 USD a month no age requirement and no rules to Protect them or the Environment every Large Corporation in America is doing it and the Bush Tax cuts are paying them to continue.Why would you stop there's no incentive to

definite, sickening isn't it? The bailouts are next to ineffective for all of those reasons. it is going to easily sink us right into a deeper hollow on a similar time as the agencies we have faith proceed to destroy our economic gadget with their unfavorable judgements and outrageously-paid CEO's. to respond to your question, i might say that the final public of them are very corrupt. They declare they choose to help the economic gadget, yet meanwhile maximum of their jobs and exertions are distant places. the computing device i'm typing on suitable now grow to be made in china, while i grow to be buying around, i could no longer detect a unmarried computing device made right here interior the states. nicely, there is going yet another $550 to china's wallet. I used to artwork in a perfect purchase call middle, and a minimum of they saved their jobs right here interior the states. it is greater desirable than what i will say for many companies, like Dell tech help. and then we've the "stimulus kit". you realize, the 'unfastened' money from the government? $60 billion borrowed from different countries. and it would be spent on distant places made products. it fairly is like putting a band-help on a gunshot wound: it sort of looks like a sturdy rapid-restoration, even nevertheless it is not going to clean up the final concern. it is going to in basic terms plunge the national debt even greater desirable. the two way, we lose. All i will say is: boycott corrupt agencies, and attempt to purchase American-made products. p.s. If anybody is conscious the place to purchase american-made laptops, please permit me understand!

Confederate Cotton Goods.

I can name a few that closed down once a union was voted in. In fact, a large air conditioning manufacturer (Carrier - United Technologies) near my town shut down and moved to Mexico, reportedly because of the union.

no such thing.

Oil companies blame environmentalists for doing what is needed to pinch supply and boost profit.

Other corporations blame unions for doing what they need to do to push profits up by exploiting cheaper foreign labor without having to give their foreign laborers amnesty here.

Funny isn't it? How right-wingers hate illegal immigrants for taking American jobs but are willing to allow companies to send those jobs to them?

Notice how they can't even read good enough to understand the rest of your question.

Obama just gave two billion of taxpayer money to a Spain based company to build solar plants here. Why not an American Co.
