Ask them if the gov should do their best to keep those jobs here.
Tell my son the truck suspension guy he doesn't have a decent job.
Go right ahead.

Gene's guys work on aircraft and/or are machinists. Both require
high skill levels.

Eisboch's (former) guys did complex optics and vacuum deposition work,
more highly skilled jobs.

I assume your son is a skilled mechanic working on truck suspensions?



Just to clarify, in addition to optical thin film engineers and technicians,
the company also had (still has) many skilled welders, fabricators,
machinists, electricians, general assembly people, plus a full staff of
mechanical, electrical, software engineers and CAD designers.

This is why Harry's assumption that nobody can possibly know more about non
union workplaces than him is so empty. He has really had a very narrow
exposure to the overall American workforce, despite his claims.
