It was called union busting.

There are a lot of ways to bust up unions, but this way particularly promoted by "free" trade agreements, allows foreign corporations to use our markets to sell their crap. It forces local workers to accept less in order to compete with foreign labor.

But since the US thinks cheap labor is a must for any corporation, we are in a race to the bottom.
