General Discussion

As someone who has searched to find US/union shop made household items for decades, I can tell you most US furniture parts and kitchen/bathroom fixtures have been outsourced to China, Vietnam or other offshore locations since the late 1980's.

I remember an NPR report around 2012 - 2014 (kidlet was in HS and needed a new bed at the time) about one of the last US furniture makers left struggling to stay in business; the 5th generation owner said he was being pressured to sell or lease his family trademark to a Chinese factory making hardwood furniture frames or "they'll flood the market with cheaper frames under a name similar to his" and put him out of business.
Lazee-boy and Broyhill had been "assembled" in the US from Chinese parts and fabrics since the early 90's.
American Standard and Delta are also "assembled" in the US from overseas parts.
These assembly plants are often manned by immigrant or prison labor. In most cases, only the management and supervisors are company employees; most hands on labor is contracted.
This is the way to reduce Union influence on corporate labor costs and ensure "good paying factory jobs" that can build up a middle class aren't available to "those people".
