States with high concentrations of labor unions really took hits.

Most companies are non union in Michigan. Only the big places are union. Maybe 10% of the jobs lost were union. Union, non Union, nobody can compete with cheap labor, cheap matierals, cheap shipping, no or low tariffs. I have friends of mine that had their own shops, non union, and thier customers source their jobs into china or mexico. They got told that they have to compete against the world. In some cases, they couldn't buy the steel for a die for what the chinese charged for a delivered final product.

In other words, unions had nothing to do with it. Competing with countries with non existent wages is impossible.

Most companies in the U.S. are non-union but Obama sure spends a lot of time with unions and the union bosses.

GM was bailed out to keep the union going...Obama's good like that...

Now, he's trying his best to screw Boeing because they came to SC to get away from the union nonsense.

Big union bosses have spent more time at the White House than Obama has since he was elected.

Obama has just been at tool for the unions.

Well I'm sure of one thing he has been a TOOL Fact is the Boeing should move the the Washington and SC plants to Mexico or Canada with the treatment the Union has been doing to them. So far there have been a bunch of order cancels and will be a LOT more if the SC courts dont throw out the UNION cry baby law suits.! BA (Boeing has been a great employer and puts up with a LOT of UNION BS just like GM and Chrysler did and those two went bankrupt and should have closed their doors. now the Union is doing the same thing to Boeing & Ford wanting all the profits and more... sure fire way to make it worth wile to move the company. lots of small non-union shops loose out too because all the UNION guys force them out by preventing inter-company dealings with non-union shops.

Ohio has lost a LOT of jobs many of them Auto/Union shops and if the new Union contracts get all the extras they want there will be more.

As for OBUMMER we only have to put up with his incompetence for 18 or so months now...
