<<Now it would be difficult finding anything US made there.>> Way back when I was in the clothing business we carried Arrow shirts and I was the store shirt buyer so I knew what was going on with Arrow shirts. Arrow products were 90% made in America at the time. The union called a strike and demanded, lets say a 75 cent an hour raise, long time ago and I can't remember the numbers. Arrow came back with a 25 cent an hour increase. At 75 cents an hour Arrow would have to ship 85% of their production overseas to stay competitive. Union said fine, we'll take the 75 cents. 3 out of 4 American Arrow workers lost their jobs so 25% could get a bigger increase. I doubt you can find an Arrow product made in the US today.
