united we work every where
Within 5 yrs these plants will close.
Congratulations! I couldn't give a lesser crap what my Governor and his buddies think.
Thank god, some good news for once
Yep, good news that the plant will be closing in the next 15 - 20 years but hey, short term goals are what unions are all about.
Chasing car manufacturing out of the USA.
And into China. . . .
When they surrendered to the auto makers in the late 90's and early 2000's the outsourcing only sped up.
The truth is that it doesn't really matter what the wages are. As long as they are lower in China outsourcing will be done and the US will always lose to China in a race to the bottom. For industry in the US to thrive the federal government needs to protect it with import tariffs and subsidies.
US agriculture has operated like this for decades. The US is a major food producer despite it's labor costs being much higher than in Africa. The reason for this is because of massive tariffs and subsidies for the agricultural sector and this can just as easily be applied to the industrial sector and for most of US history it was. Only in the late 80's did corruption fester and did the federal government decide to give up US national interests for the sake of the interests of their rich donors.
These fools have no idea they voted themselves out of a job. Apparently they didn’t learn the lessons of what VW did in PA.
Get it!
Unions destroyed Detroit in the 90s. Good luck.
LIES IN THE 2020s GOOD LUCK WITH THAT ONE !
That's really, really weird cause they emerged in the 1930's. So how did they destroy it in the 90's when they rose in the 30's? The largest strike in Detroit history was in 1946 just before the golden era of the US auto industry. The time of heavy union activity was the time the US auto industry thrived.
Unions didn't change during the 1990's. What did change though was government industrial policy which became more and more corrupt. Especially Republican Ronald Reagan and Democrat Bill Clinton introduced corruption into the US federal government and pushed the notion that serving the interests of select firms mattered more than serving the national interests of the US. That allowing them to leave by deregulating imports and eliminating import fees on outsourcing and especially via NAFTA was good for the US somehow.
Don't believe in the lies. Unions didn't destroy Detroit, government corruption did. Detroit declined as companies managed to bribe their way into congress and make them make decisions to serve their rich donors rather than their voters.
