Subject: RE: BS: Do we still need unions?
Good point, McGrath. But what workers in this country consider a Living Wage would constitute Impossible Wealth in places like Sri Lanka. One one-hundredth of an American Wage is very reasonable to them. As long as these facts remain, we will see erosion of industrial production among the Developed Nations. And I wonder if we, as consumers, would be willing to pay the much higher prices on goods that would be inevitable should we help the Sri Lankans achieve our wage-level?
