Less that 15% of US manufacturing is union. This "unions are ruining
manufacturing in this country" line that some like to harp on is just BS.

If the unions would bow out and let the manufacturers pay what the skill
of putting together a TS is "actually" worth the company could pay the
license fee and make a profit, probably a larger profit. If your
productions costs are in excess to start with it is also very hard to be
competitive.
