This would be amusing if it was not so sad. We have so decimated the middleclass and American worker that they must work for whatever is offered. You see, corporations have their own union, the Chamber Of Commerce and a myriad of trade organizations. The American workers have no one to defend them. After all, is it not true that we want the government, we the people to drop regulation and dissolve unions?
The America that I knew. The America most of us want but cannot envision through the morass of misinformation is in jeopardy.
Just how bad has it gotten for workers in our country? Imagine foreign nations outsourcing jobs to the US for, you guessed it, cheap labor. German automaker BMW announced they are opening a factory in the US and they need laborers. Answering the call, are a crowd of skilled workers with advanced degrees who have now been squeezed out of the American workforce thanks to the Chamber’s outsourcing death grip on our economy. BMW is paying these workers $15 an hour. In Germany, the same worker would make twice that. Welcome to third world America, Germany’s cheap labor depot
