questions for Omaha Steve and other in-the know union members

[w8liftinglady]

I am preparing my rebuttal to my congressman's statements on the SOTU,and need hard facts about overseas outsourcing and comparing union and non-union jobs(especially steelworkers).These are taboo subjects in this swill of poverty that I call home,but someone has to tell it like it is.I have info on Barton,cornyn and Hutchison's labor voting records,but I am having trouble finding the above resources.Thanks in advance...

4. A friend suggested these

The entire mail:

The first one is maybe not all quite on point, but may be relevant to what this person wants. It reviews BLS data on wages and provides analysis that I hope is clear and easy to understand.

The others also provide data that are potentially relevant to what really takes a pretty complex answer to get at all the moving pieces.
