    EvMick,
           I worked in factories from 1951 onward. I finished school and worked
    at professional level position from 1964 onward.
           Just a homely observation but I believe that is a large part of what
    fueled the movement of manufacturing to Mexico, SE Asia and other points
    outside the US. Some people think Japan is an exception but when I had
    consulting assignments inside large companies I was always told what
    percentage (fairly large) they owned of various large Japanese companies.
           I think guys just got tired of screwing with the unions and the
    government whether national, state or local.
