One of my hats is as a union rep. Another is as a capitalist.

I find myself in an odd place, in that the products which I wish to market are only available from China, Korea and India. The ones from India and Korea are FDA approved; the Indian factories are not. When we went to find out how much American made equipment would cost, it came to twice the amount [at retail] as the foreign made goods.

We have decided to make the larger, custom made units in the US and import the high volume units for household use. You do what you can.
