Damned unions!

So we have to look at the definition of 'Create'.

Creating 12k jobs infers these jobs did not exist previously. However, you then say the plan is to bring jobs back to the US. This means they were at some point already here, and were sent to whatever foreign market they ended up in where labor conditions are more favorable. The fact a few jobs came back doesn't change what caused them to leave in the first place.
