Probably because Unions are for Idiots.

My company gave me one as a retirement gift. .45 long Colt, curly maple wood, color case hardened. Beautiful piece.

Who in their right mind would CHOOSE to do business in New York or Connecticut when places like Montana, Alabama and the Carolinas would welcome they with open arms and provide cheaper labor and low (if not NO) taxes.

Better yet, they should have all moved to business friendly Texas!
As usual you don't know your azzhole from your elbow. Ruger still has a manufacturing facility in New Hampshire. It is non union and doesn't pay it's employees for shyt the last I knew. {I have applied for and been offered a job there and turned it down for lack of money} I doubt they'd be able to get cheaper labor in the West unless they hired illegals and kept them off the books. Remington is still union and pays it's employees comparatively well. Unfortunately, I do currently work for a non-union gun company in the NorthEast and I doubt like hell there would be folks from anywhere else lining up to work for any less than we do.


Unions get a bad name, not because of the line worker, but because of the criminal/political element in the business office. I am all for union workers getting as much compensation as they can. It is the union leadership that is corrupt.
