They don't have to bring their wages down to the level of China, etc... They just have to not set their wages outside of what the US market would bear.

Have you ever seen what Boeing assembly workers make? Full on pension... WAY TOO MUCH COMPENSATION to do a non-skilled job.

Toyota has no problem using American workers. They are non-union and as a result they get paid what they deserve. What the US market will bear. If the UAW was the union at Toyota's plant, they would ship those jobs overseas in a heartbeat.


I don't think unions are horrible. But when unions set their wages outside of what the market will bear, they are asking for trouble. They get NO sympathy from me.
