False!

Oh? At this moment I'm in LA where the mechanics for public transit are on
strike. Seems that the union bosses ****ed away their pension money and they
want the taxpayers to bail them out. In the meantime, they're making (on
average) over $50k, have full health, and get to retire with full pension after
23 years. Not bad for a job that requires little more than a high school
education. If I hadn't listened to may parents and gone to college, I could
have been retired by now, or on to a 2nd career.

The grocery workers are also on strike. They are upset that they will no
longer get all their health care paid for. (most of those jobs don't even
require a high-school degree)

And you're wondering why jobs are going overseas?
