I do think we should have federal statute mandating card check to level the playing field. Furthermore, it could be argued that the federal government should level the playing field so that states who give $200,000+ per job to foreign manufacturers in the form of worker training, land deals, deferred or suspended taxes, etc. don’t have in-state manufactured products with a competitive edge. Alternatively, individual states could levy those taxes against non-US companies.</p> I don’t think those corporations should have to pay for their competitors’ agreements.

There’s no need to contact Shelby et. al.; they won’t listen to anyone except their contributors. And if there are mass layoffs, there will be a lot of people throughout the midwest with time on their hands and revenge on their minds.</p> We’d have to register a website, get lists of the donors for those senators and research their financial connections, create a list of businesses in those states, starting with the largest corporations, create a mailing list so people can contact those people, and create a timetable for action.

Is this a race issue? We know there are many blacks in their party. How could they hurt Detroit. The auto co’s have many black workers and retirees. Where’s our our President Elect on this?
