It’s been the tool for a long time. Reagan used it as well, and threw in the military as “employed” to juice up his figures. Which, how many robots have been added to the job market to replace union jobs since ’81? How many shipped overseas? And, btw, many of those companies in the south and in “right to work” states actually pay BETTER benefits and wages, relative to the local economy, than even “union” provided. It is in large part that those foreign corporations have a better employer work ethic, without the NEED for unions to stand up for employee “rights”.

The best thing to do is to unionize the workers of the rest of the world so that we will have a chance to survive.

^ Doesn’t seem to bother you when the Republicans use that tool.
