I'm replying here only, because I don't want in on the thread, but I do
disagree with Neil. This is not the cycle in motion. The problem this
time isn't oversupply, it's the shipping of jobs overseas, something a
reduction in supply (here) and unionization won't have any effect on.
(if anything, unionization will only drive more jobs out of the country
as no employer wants a new union in their lives)
