Not really. All unions are going to die eventually, as we all can notice in the last 4 years. Eventually, most unions are so not productive and full of ego that they make their corporations to go through bankruptcy in order to get rid of their greedy asses.Someone's jealous

If you truly believe it's foregone conclusion then why are you on here bellyaching about it? Looks like you came to the thread with some sort of personal agenda already in mind. Thanks but no thanks for your attempt to further divide America with your culture war nonsense.Not really. All unions are going to die eventually, as we all can notice in the last 4 years.

Shouldn't it say "Assembled in the USA"?
To the other 95% of the world's population this means nothing. "Assembled in the USA" still designates an import, and to over a billion people, Mac and iDevice purchases are already domestically manufactured.

Sorry just a quick rant, I work at a grocery store where i make 10 cents over minimum wage, I am part time, and I have paid 500 dollars to the Union this year.. I work much harder then most of my coworkers infact my mangers even tell me this. The only thing the union has done for me is take my money, and give my lazy coworkers job security... If we were not union, even if i only got minimum wage I would still make more money then paying union dues. Also I would have likely gotten promoted since so many unneeded lazy works would be fired. Not everyone who is in a union likes it.
Being in a union is much like having insurance. If you never need it it's a pain. If you need it. It's a god send.

Jobs for people in the U.S. is always a good thing..
However does it really make that big of a difference if it was assembled by a fully automated assembly line in China or a fully automated assembly line in the U.S.?
I guess someone has to fix the robots...

Unions were needed in the days of child labor and 14 hour work days in dangerous factories with no fire exits. Now? Not so much.

Yeah, you're right. I can't wait until we're just like China, with miserable working conditions and wages that result in widespread poverty and a lack of consumer spending leading to an eventual collapse of the domestic economy, as is now a looming threat in China. You're a genius.

"Democracy was needed in the days of corrupt imperialist government and taxation without representation. Now? Not so much."
Actually, with workers' wages rapidly falling in comparison to rising salaries for top management, I would argue that a strong labor movement is needed now more than ever. Too bad there's very little support for it thanks to years of propaganda being shoved down people's throats.

So you're proud of being someone who doesn't fight for its working conditions and rights? If unions were more of a widespread phenomenon in the USA then you wouldn't have Walmart employee partially financed with your taxes, yep, your taxes while Walmart gets flooded with revenue thanks to that.
That whole "union" thing worked out great for Hostess employees!

We now have the Government the nations founders warned us about.

And this is why Apple will never manufacture in the US, unions are too much of a headache.
