Reply #6: never lucky enough to have a union job [View All]

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

but I sure get tired of hearing the free traders chime in about "trade policies result in a net increase of jobs". Are these people for real, and do they live in the same country as I do? Where and what type of jobs might these be? Retail clerks? Are they serious? 50 good paying middle class union jobs have been replaced with 2 middle managers (who work 50-60 salary non-overtime hours a week), and the rest are under $10 a hour retail clerks and store stockers?

As far as I can tell, this free trade economy just means that mega crap is cheap, but housing (mortgages), education and healthcare have been priced out of the reach of many middle class families. What a f'up system that is.

What part of free trade non-union just means that multi-national corps will go where ever labor is the least expensive don't they get?
