How many union call center operators?
Zero. Union programmers? Maybe a handful. Union Human Resources? Zero. Accountants, zero. Medical transcriptionist? Zero.

Not every job being replaced is because it's antiquated or obsolete. Most of the positions being outsourced today they're just saving a few pennies.

I don't think protectionism will work long term, but we're not looking for a long term solution. Just something to slow the outflow of jobs until the economy can adjust.
