The Union's didn't ruin Detroit, capitalism, large corporations and the banks did.
Union's don't fight to get their work/industry closed down and shipped abroad to do it all cheaper.
Corporations and banks that buy businesses to make a profit do exactly that.
Bullshit, they bribed the city council for huge demands and they moved the factories which were aging to the suburbs with newer better factories. You don't know shit, this started when the factories got old and was cheaper to build new ones than to meet the ridiculous demands of the Unions that started at least 75 years a ago. Abroad I guess is within 20 miles.
Also the worst riots until in US history in the sixties over 2 returning Vietnam vets and a bunch of people wanting to celebrate them coming home, at a ' blind pig' aka an illegal after hours bar and people had a shitfit. Don't tell me about the history of where I live.
There wasn't jobs shipped abroad, it was the unions who chased the jobs in the 50's to the suburbs and that riot that, LBJ called in the National gaurd.
You commies don't know shit. It is always the same. The factories paid really good money that's why we have such a diverse population and communism only breeds poverty, oppression and always a dictatorship.
The Detroit city council fucked so many people over.
Don't tell me the history of where I was born, I live in a neighboring county and was born in another. County next to Wayne County, aka Detroit and 2 towns completely surrounded by Detroit and not sure if there are any other shit holes in Wayne county.
Everything was great and Detroit was prosperous and considered one of the richest cities until around 1950. What jobs a abroad. Sterling Heights? I can walk there to Detroit in 2 hours. Moving from below 8 miles to various places below many well below 20 mile is not abroad. In fact some built factories a couple of miles a way. The Unions got greedy and those good high paying jobs is why Detroit is mostly Black and why so many arabs live in this area.( highest concentration in the Detroit metro area and Dearborn. Because the jobs paid so well. The mafia controlled unions paid off the city council to enact ridiculously high wages and all sorts of other costs so that the mafia could get money. News flash, Detroit has a mafia and it is small now, but big during Hoffa's years and was is in the decline. This began before Hoffa's reign and all the corruption, don't you know shit about Jimmy Hoffa and those who preceded him. There is a reason Hoffa was was given 8 of the 13 year original sentence and it was bribery. Detroit is corrupt and the Unions were The ones that really started it.
Knee jerk left wing reaction. You don't know shit. The jobs abroad? Macomb county? LMAO. Same old nonsense, from leftists who think they know everything, and don't know shit. Learn your history little boy and remember to wear that extra padded helmet at all times. Stupidity, arrogance and being brainwashed with leftist bullshit. The company's that stayed in Detroit like Packard and others died, the auto industry paid well. Henry Ford would hire people regardless of race and pay them more that twice what the average worker made and it was unskilled labor on the assembly lines and 8 hour work days 5 days a week and overtime.( skilled blue collar labor requires an apprenticeship which can take years. This was unskilled labor at wages that illiterates could work 40 hours and buy a new single family home, a car or two and only need one income to support a family comfortably, which is a lot more than any communist country could boast.
Oh excuse me, China has a more capitalistic economy than we do now, and their authoritarian government realized that all those stupid bullshit polices failed and changed direction and will be over taking America as it moves into the leftist crap. The communists love jobs being shipped abroad. They encourage it. Clinton signed NAFTA and it killed jobs and and so do all the other left wing policies. The auto industry was a blessing to many and was destroyed by people like Jimmy Hoffa, 1957-1971 head of the Teamsters and his predecessors chased the jobs to neighboring counties. Then throw in the riot and Bye Bye to all the jobs and then the neighboring countries got jobs. Go back to reddit, with all the know nothing Marxist little children.
