So true.
The company I worked for had their (our) insurance
rates increased 200% last year,
100% the year before.
Add that strangle hold to the 45% price decrease
Chrysler demanded just to keep their buisness.
If we didn't meet Chrysler's demands;
they would take all the tooling,
and put them in a factory in China.
They pulled about 4.5 million in orders
just to show they were serious.
My company had no choice but to open a plant in Mexico,
In order to stay in buisness.
Fortunatly for the employees aerospace products
Must be built in the USA....
(as required by boeing, us goverment, macdonald douglas, ect.)
If a politician were to visit these union workers.
And make strong statments about reducing healthcare costs,
and Protecting US buisness....That politician would have 90%
of these workers votes.
