Before I answer let me just say that my dad belonged to the United Auto Worker's Union (UAW) for 42 years.
The reason stuff is made overseas is because the UAW people here want $40/hour, 13 vacation days/year, 5 weeks vacation/year, full medical, and full medical after retirement.
Guys overseas are glad to have the work.
I'm not saying this is right or wrong, it is just the way it is.
