It's a shame that all them American workers willinglly alow Foreign Corporations more political/ economic voice in their localities, state and our country than they themselves have......They never wouldve needed Fanny and Freddy if they stuck together and resposibly decided their demands for pay and bennies instead of letting the market decide....The antiuniin politicians are the only real beneficiaries of antiunion legislation apart from the corpirations they serve. And those corps dedicate to no location.
No, I would attribute that more to the Democrats...starting with Jimmy Carter who floated the idea, then on to Bill Clinton who put the idea into law....and let's not forget Barney Frank and Chris Dodd who made sure the law was enforced. It's called the Community Reinvestment Act, or in simpler terms, the idea that everyone could/should be a homeowner.
I'd say it was the bursting of the housing bubble that was caused by the CRA which destroyed the economy that led to the high unemployment numbers.
I'd also say that the lack of education would also be a contributing factor. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
I'd say it has nothing to do with the fact that 97% of the companies in NC and 96.5% in SC are non-union.
