The solution will be painful following a failure of the financial system.
First work going offshore will happen even if unions did not exist, if workers here worked for a dollar an hour and an employer believes they could get the same product in India for $0.50 wave good-by the job is gone.
As far as tactics unions will use whatever muscle they have, and employers will use whatever lobbyist has the most influence to get what they want done.
Though this involves the lives of people in this country at the end of the day it's no more than a money game.
Watch the movie Other People's Money, a quote from the movie delivered by Danny Davito "Whoever dies with the most money wins".
