Not saying I don't support the strike, or what the strike is trying to achieve, just trying to understand the nuance of whats going on here.

Besides, what kind of company looks at the supply chain situation right now and says "yea, now is a good time to move all of our business-critical infrastructure overseas." And all that sets aside operational & regulatory challenges moving heavy manufacturing overseas. It's pretty safe to assume that, after 30+ years of offshoring, old companies who haven't yet offshored have good reason not to do so.
