1970's oil crisis ignited "price inflation" that then led to "wage inflation"....big difference now is that unionized workforce is much smaller percentage of work force. I do not believe workers today have the clout to drive up "wage inflation" especially if we have a recession leading to...

They have already tried! They were kicked back from buying Unocal Corp. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/02/AR2005080200404.html Remember the UAE company trying to buy the ports. US politicians do not want "foreigners" buying US assets.
