Having grown up in southwest Pennsylvania , now living in Erie , after thirty years out of state. I am hearing the same talk in Erie from GE workers that I heard from the miners and millworkers in the
hometown area . Amazing how people don't get it. Obviously a lot of pain to come , but the local politicians and union have a hand in it .
I have seen the future it's called the bbc news India is building 10,000 trains G.E. US has sold them more then the kits to build them they plan on full production because 1 it's cheaper to build them there for 8$ an hour rather then 27$ an hour per worker in lawrence park/erie then build 2 It's cheaper to build them there rather the ship them there and risk damage in transport and finally 3 they don't have osha regulations in india so they don't have government regulating there business this being related to dividing and conquering the union that being said if you live in erie shits going to get a whole lot worse and that being said AAAHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! LOSERS!!!
