When we see big corporations move their production facilities overseas, That is the global market and free-enterprise that seeks lower wages. That is a direct result of unions and government regulated wage floors. I don't see a big problem with it, personally: That is approaching PERFECT COMPETITION. So the unions have priced themselves out of a job... I don't care. I maximize my marginal utility, carefully considering all aspects of my buying decision.
