""How can unions Boycott corporations that exploit labor when the US Government is paying companies to send our jobs overseas?""


These corporations have to sell their products somewhere. They sell them here. That's how easy it is to boycott a Corporation.

""How the hell do you think that letting all the illegal workers in the world into our job market is going to help lour wages go any where but to the bottom?""

From Unlawflcombatnt's own source, it states that 24% of illegals work in farm labor. They get a nice exemption from the minimum wage. How are illegals lowering wages when 24% of them work in a sector of the economy that is not subjected to paying a min wage?

Look at your laws on the books!!!!

Immigrants did not lobby for NAFTA, CAFTA, Right to Work Laws and Taft Hartly. It wasnt Immigrants that forced the NYC transit workers back to work. It was not Immigrants that forced Reagan to fire all the air traffic controllers either. Last I checked, immigrants were not activly involved in shipping factories over seas or busting organized labor.

Our government has done one hell of a job of digging us a nice little hole.
