Speaking of exports versus imports, I happened to be at a big box home
and hardware store recently and was looking at washing machines. I
didn't look at every single machine or every box in the display of
shipping cartons there, but I looked at at least 20...and not one
machine there, no matter the brand, was manufactured in the USA.
I'm not saying there are no washing machines still manufactured in the
USA, because not every brand was represented at the store, but many,
many brands were.
Kind of a sad commentary. Some of the best-finished machines I looked at
were manufactured in Korea.
The ones with the union label no longer exist.
As a matter of fact, you are wrong. Many appliances manufactured abroad
are built by unionized workers.
