Sure..be nice if the corps played fair..kept wages up, health-care costs down..work in this country..

But they don't...They wouldn't be enjoying those big expensive homes and toys without the labor

And some of the bastards just move their whole company out of the country..
#$@% $% the unions they say...I say let those corps that have done this..
go live in those countries..get the hell out of this one...
