You're right, you don't know me. Walmart sees very little if any money from me. The $12 an hour is all that job is worth, not the $40 the UAW workers got.

I'll keep my mouth shut on the rest of my opinions of unionized labor. Though I do still laugh at the bakers union at Hostess, extremely entertaining. How's that collective bargaining working for them now.... bwahahaha





And what's the problem with that? Look a Duluth Trading. Coupla poor union slobs get an idea to strike out and make something of themselves and start a clothing company. They pitch their stuff directly at the union worker. I have yet to see them admit to using unionized labor to make their products. Prohibitively expensive products are the result. Though I do admit the firehose shorts are the bomb, and the insulated jeans are tops in my book during the winter.

You need to open your eyes, do you think the twinke is going to become any cheaper once the next company starts producing them. NO, The budget will stay the same and a 100 board members will make a couple million more every year while 50,000 Americans will make a how lot less. If you get up every morning and go to work to provide for your family you deserve better. Class envy, along with the lazy *** who wont get up and go to work are the ones killing America. We need to take back the America that my father and his father built. Tearing down your neighbor, because he makes more or is in a union is not the answer. Standing together so the working American gets his fair shake is what is needed. We all need to open our eyes.
 
Companies must realize that they are dependent on their employees. Employees must realize that they are dependent on their employers. They both must realize that they are dependent on a market's will that changes over time.
 
my earliest was a trash eighty but that's ancient history. I threw out my last rll drives til about 2002... I don't even want to think about how much those bytes cost me on the buy end.

I need to open my eyes? Look at who unions over-whelmingly support. The very party that does everything it can to give everything it can to those very same people you complain about. Not only that but its the same party that supports the ultra-rich. The very same ultra rich, Soros, Buffet et al that Want the open borders free trade crap. Your dues agrigated together go to support the very things you're railing against.

Sorry cbody forum members, this is my last union rant, I will only talk mopar going forward after I tell you alittle about what my local union does for the community.
The last two local elections we fully backed republicans, we believe if you back piping industry and skilled trades, we will back you. Over 80% of our members are proud NRA members who volunteer our free time helping clean up hiking trails and Lake Michigans beach front. The state treasury board tours our training facilities 4-5 times a year, trying to understand how at any given moment we can supply highly skilled workers without a penny of the states fund. We have VIP( Veterans in Piping), as soon as a veteran is discharged from service, he or she is given the oppurinity to go to work with one of thousands of contractors who also believe in this program across the country. We have raised thousands of dollars for local charties, food banks, etc.. As of about 20 years ago we account for about 8-10% of the workforce, and we are shrinking each year, yet get blamed for 90% of the labor problems in this country. You don't realize what you have till it is gone. Thanks guys, whoever is out in Carlsile, I hope your having a blast, and for petes sake, PICTURES!!!!!!!

No matter what you buy in general, there will hardly be any product where every work process or small part was done in your own country.
Recently saw a report and correct me if I remember this wrong, that said no jeans cloth at all is produced in the US for a long time, don't remember though which eastern country was in charge most likely India, they even had the looms taken over from US manufacturers back then. So at best you'll find a pair of jeans that was sewn together domestically.

This is not true, Roundhouse and Texas Jean Co make everything right here in the US, I waste countless hours researching USA make goods but no one listens. Both these companies charge less for a pair than Levi or Daluth or any other company producing the Crap you get at ChinaMart. All it takes is a little homework, I buy almost everything made in the US, including underwear and socks. New Balance make alot of sneakers in the US, all it takes is some shopping. Red Wing boots, most made in China now oh and the cost is still the same. Guess the CEO needs a new beach house:sFl_america2:

Red Wings now as well ? Got me a pair two years ago and wearing them very often. They charge the Dollar price in EUROs over here.
 
From Wikipedia so YMMV:
"The Red Wing Shoe brand is still primarily handmade in the USA at the company's plants in Potosi, Missouri and a plant in Red Wing, Minnesota. In addition to manufacturing footwear under their own name, Red Wing Shoes also manufactures shoes under the Irish Setter Boots, Vasque, Carhartt (discontinued in 2011), and Worx brands. These non-Red Wing brands include a majority of models manufactured in China."
 
Mine from no more than three years ago have "Made in the USA from imported materials" on a large white tag on the tongue.

Mine as well.
Don't like they became some kind of Yuppie fashion thing right after I got these, but I'll wear them until they desintegrate and by then this trend will be gone for a few decades I guess.
 
Yah, that hit my HS hard. Everyone and their tan "tims." My Red Wings are brown and one of the guys had the audacity to tell me they were not the "in-color." I told him that scuff free and never seen mud aren't my color and walked away.
