Hi Carl, The only thing wrong with your analysis regarding union workers in American forest products companies is that business and labor in the U.S. don't use the German model, with unions having input into management decision making. The union role in the U.S. is strictly (and stupidly in my opinion) an adversarial one. Thus, I can see trade unionist in the U.S. forest products industry benefiting from an excessively restrictive tariff. But I can't see any way that they have the least bit of input into the decision making process of the U.S. Commerce Department or the U.S. Trade Representative's Office. Nor do these two governmental bodies demonstrate (in any substantive or quantifiable fashion) the least bit of concern for the welfare of the trade unionists in this country. -Ray
