If you have a job at a company that can be outsourced, it is more difficult to negotiate union contracts. The Garment Workers Union is a classic example. Textile manufacturing was one of the first to travel out of the U.S.
The Teachers Union is evidently crafted in stone. It is a job that is not going to get outsourced. In some cases retirement begins on the job. Reply #22 contains a classic example. Too bad more school kids don't use their iPhone for something useful.
 
Sabotage

From what I know, the vast majority of residential HVAC units are/were made in Indiana.
It is, or was, the largest HVAC factory in North America, after UTC consolidated all of Carrier and Bryant's capacity.
Those workers are PISSED. I would not trust a large necessary machine coming out of that factory anymore.

I worked for UTC for a while.
They actually are a great employer, until the day they don't need you.
I saw a management presentation once on accident.
All the rest of us "little people" were literally described as "engineering energy" and that ENERGY can be transferred wherever and whenever they see fit.
That was the day I knew I had to leave.
Not that the grass is ever much greener elsewhere.
