My entry was not intended to aim criticism at Germany. I was pointing our both the irony and the sadness that another company was coming here looking for cheap labor. I don't mind foreign companies setting up shop here at all. However, if anyone want's the advantage of a union label - which shows that the goods were built under a union contract, and makes them more marketable in most of the construction market - they should pay the union wages and benefits that the union label represents.

Studies show that the level of unionism has an inverse relationship to the wealth gap, and thus a direct relationship to a healthy middle class. I don't understand why a great majority of Americans would not want to strengthen the middle class.

Regards,
