That said - some other countries are not very good to their workers. Poverty wages, no benefits, no time off, no breaks, mandatory overtime without overtime pay - some of them get paid the American equivalent of $100 per WEEK, for a 60-hour 6-day week. Those countries would benefit from unions. Until the unions get too full of themselves.

My company eventually had a union (teamsters). I would put up our employees against any as far as production and quality. The problem is that we can not compete with countries that pay their employees pennies a day, if at all (prison labor). Of course companies like auto manufacturers run to Mexico when the cost of labor is 1/2 that of a US employee. We need to protect our US employees. Both parties seem fine with manufacturing jobs moving out of the country. We need to protect US workers.
