Granted, but my point in that comment was not that the jobs were moved to mexico, its that the company here in Canada was profitable when the workers were being paid a fair 14/h. The employees knew that 32/h was rediculous, but the union forced the management into it with legal b.s. and the company went belly-up. They had no choice but to move to mexico. So did the union protect the workers against the evil giant of management, or did the union screw them out of their jobs and move a good portion of tax-base to another country?

You know how benefited from this? Union reps and union lawyers. The company lost money, the workers lost their jobs, the city lost its taxes.
