30. Here's a question for you re: manufacturing

I see this as a poker game between labor and the corporations. Labor's gamble is that they provide a hard working, local workforce. From the corporate perspective, they can call that and move jobs overseas.

Philosophically, would it be worth it to lower union wages to keep jobs here?

There are clearly a lot of details surrounding that question, but in essence would that be something to consider?
