        Maybe if they paid more? $25 an hour isn't much for a qualified welder.

        And what charges are being brought against the owner/CEO? He is breaking the law and his reply is to threaten to move the company to Mexico? Let's talk about this @SenTedCruz Justify this to the people you think you represent! #VoteBlue #GOPCorruption
