Hi Testweldguy
In Iraq!!! Go to your local Steamfitters Union Hall, and some of the other halls... You'll find that they Want YOU!!! The rest of the jobs, are soon to be outsourced to the rest of the third world if we as the citizens of this great nation continue to stick our heads in the ground, and not do anything about it!!! Remember to Vote otherwise, the people that do not exercise this duty and right as citizens, do not have the right to complain!!! I hope you're not one of those...
In a nutshell, Illegal dumping, and unfair trade practices has caused a steady decline in the amount of welding jobs that pay a decent wage!!!
The Employers in the U.S.A are forced to compete with foreign companies that pay their workers less than half of what they pay over here!!! That's another excuse or reason they use to outsource jobs!!! Remember 9-11-01!!! NEVER FORGET!!! GO YANKEES!!!
Respectfully,
SSBN727 Run Silent (except for this)... Run Deep!!!
