Oops, its already spread past the evil UAW worker into skilled trades 🙁
“The people who do what I do in the Detroit area are a dime a dozen,” said Kim Allgeyer, 46, a machine toolmaker in Westland, Mich., who was laid off in January from a company that makes assembly lines for the automakers. Unable to find another full-time job, he is subsisting on day labor and one-week stints for contractors. “Who’s going to put me to work?” he asked. “Where’s the work at? It’s just a great big black hole.”
In a global market workforce who amongst us are not a “dime a dozen”? I don’t care how good you think you are at what you do, there is someone in India just as good willing to do it for much, much less. Is it too late to wake up and realize WE need to protect our jobs, because the corporations, elite and the Gov. won’t look out for us?
I bet Senators and Congresspeoples have been getting angry letter after angry letter about the bailouts of the auto makers. Its worked as now those jobs are headed to China. Really we should have all been sending letteres threatening to throw them out of offic if even ONE job left the country. We should have been demanding they issue an emergency stop to all car imports. We deal with our mess and other countries deal with theirs. Instead we will have “free” trade (hah!) which is code for “jobs go bye-bye”.
