pretty far OT here but, cheap imports because foreign workers have to work for a pittance just to survive are the primary cause that the US steel industry is on the ropes. The fact that huge multinational corporations can take advantage and play foreign workers against us, does not justify racing to the bottom by undermining worker rights and benefits here at home. I drive a Union Made Car and I am damn proud of it. I enjoy my copius free time because of the 40 hour work week. I have medical benefits and relatively strong laws that keep me safe at work. I don't have to shop at the company store, and when I was in a union I had a whole organization looking out for my interests (just like the shareholders had a whole organization looking out for thiers [managment]) We worked a full days work for a full days pay, and that job allowed me to buy my first Porsche. Vroooooom, Union Yes!
