The problem is that moving manufacturing abroad guts unions, its hard to strike or have any meaningful counter to it for a union. If they are threatening to lay everyone off and move abroad what could a union do to stop it? Only really a mass general strike which is near impossible in the US due to trade based unions.
More or less, yeah

Mass strikes are also illegal, so a half assed one would be counterproductive.
