International Brotherhood of Teamsters President James Hoffa called Apple Inc. and other big American businesses “unpatriotic” on Sunday morning for placing jobs overseas instead of in America.

Appearing on CNN’s State of the Union, Hoffa told host Candy Crowley that when the tech giant does something, “They do it in China, they do it somewhere else.”

“We owe an obligation to America,” he said. “Let’s put America back to work.”

Hoffa also thought that more attention should be placed on what American businesses should do to help revitalize the economy instead of the president’s or Congress’ plans.

^this

People like this guy have made American labor uncompetitive & have destroyed American businesses by making it almost impossible to succeed in the current regulatory environment. Guys like this need to shut the hell up & do a little self reflection instead of pointing fingers. Are big corporations patially responsible for this mess? You better believe it but union bosses like this thug are just as responsible. A pox on both of their houses.

There's nothing more unpatriotic than the U.S. government.

Perhaps he should being it up with the US customs department official who told Gibson they should move manufacturing out of the US if they want to stop getting harassed by the US govt.
