[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3130341, member: 5412"] This post is the exact reason that steel production went overseas. The unions, just like GM had huge unfunded retirement expenses, and they opposed technology, knowing it was going to cost jobs. Eventually it killed them, short story. Every major manufacturing company in the world has had to deal with emerging technology that increases production yet reduces the workforce.......in the actual people on the floor. Technology generates new jobs in the programming and specialized maintenance of the new tech as well as those that are planners record keepers, etc. No, it won't get back to the numbers of floor workers like machinists and steel workers, but it will bring good paying jobs back to the US. Trumps assumption is that if we need steel, aluminum, batteries, etc in a chaotic or world upset, we have the production and means to produce it here and not have to go to other countries to get it. I agree. [/QUOTE]
