Quote from indexer:
Probably 10 times as many non-union jobs have been sent overseas versus union. Harping on unions is a red herring at this point. White collar jobs are going just as fast.
Ignoring positions that are not offshorable such as govt workers, railroad employees, self-employed, etc.) -- do you really want to compare how many union jobs in manufacturing have disappeared compared to non-union jobs over the last 30 years?
Example - Flint Michigan: "General Motors employment dropped from 82,000 in 1970 to just over 14,500 today."
