Half a loaf is better than none. They need to be wage-competitive with the U.S.-based foreign car makers, who are doing pretty well, without union workers.

Build their tent cities there where it is warm in the winter. Burden their homeless shelters and food pantries. Let them see what they have done to hard working US citizens. Those Senators still may not care, but their constituents might, and vote them out of office. Something else on my mind is; how long did the US attorney have probable cause to arrest our governor? Why did he wait until 6AM of the day after our governor put pressure on the Bank of America to extend credit to the company of the fired, striking, union members of the window and door factory that relocated to Iowa? I'll bet there is no union in the relocated Iowa window/door company. At least those workers received their wages for 60 days as required by law when BOA and another bank caved and extended credit.
