[QUOTE="gl55, post: 1710840, member: 729"] OKC went through the same thing when Western Electric/AT&T/Lucent Tech/Celestica and General Motors closed their manufacturing plants. I worked for WE/ATT/Lucent/Celestica for 26 years and was one of those evil union peeps making $26/hr + benefits when I got laid off in 2002. They moved our jobs to Montery Mexico where they were paying the mexican workers 1.50/hr. Fortunately for all those years they paid me a living wage all while making millions in corporate profits year after year, I managed my money well and was able to start my retirement at age 47. I now work part time for my self and my wife (who also got laid off from the same in 2002) and I still live quite well. She went back to work full time for 1/2 what she was earning at WE/ATT/Lucent/Celestica but that is life. Such is the new US economy and way of doing business. [/QUOTE]
