Hi,

They should wake up and realize that the second

environment.

I suspect that they prefer employing fewer people; it costs less.
Yes, and the union jobs have excellent pay these days, so there is
resistance from that direction as well. However, the fact it could
be a dying industry, should be motivation to cover bets, just as the

research and development. It is clearly important to the future of
their kids and grandkids.
