As if no companies who have never worked within a union contact are in trouble. As if the Mom and Pop's haven't been systematicly choked off, the life blood of this country is local business, where monies can stay within a community. The decline of America is on the back of the big box stores feeding the masses with ever decreasing prices brought to us by foriegn competitors, and the demand is at an all time high. I spend 3 times normal market value to wear clothes made in America, union textiles are still out there, I buy my food at the local farmers market, and that doesn't mean your local organic chain. I use bio-diesel and shun gasoline. My spring pig is almost ready to butcher, i'll trade most for beef and buffalo. If it went dark tonight and i mean forever.... will you survive. Who will unite with you in your stuggle.
I know lets ask the millions of people in the Ukraine what happens when free enterprise isn't checked by labor standards, but will that get them the heating oil they need? Oh yeah, i'm not on some farm in Nebraska, i'm in San Diego and i deal mostly with mexicans, cash business is good, I am a union carpenter, my family, GOD willing, will survive. When borders don't mean anything and salt, sugar and flour become our currency again, who will stand with you? Blame it on the unions, but we stand shoulder to shoulder with eachother, forgoing the needs of the few for the needs of the many.
