I work at a retail store in the US and I've noticed that Mexican workers (including myself) are treated with less respect than the Americans/Africans (store is diversed but mainly consists of: Mexicans, Americans and Africans) but at the end of the day we (Mexicans) are the ones getting that job done. Staying longer, working harder, and sometimes even skipping breaks to get the job done.
Like my mom once told me: forget about the other workers, you go and do your job and things will work out.
When we have a good day of work we go home smiling and proud of our work for the day.
Sometimes I'm very shocked at how unappreciated we are at points because we are very loyal workers. I've only been working there 2 1/2 years but otherothers have 10+ years working for this store
Be careful don't get used........in the end they don't care...........
In US A
Hace poco estando yo en el mercado vi llegar un equipo de trabajadores del municipio de mi pequeña ciudad. Los vi trabajar. Trabajaron duro y rápido, y en un santiamén ya habían reparado la acera. Me sentí orgulloso de ser mexicano.
Don't worry about the tricks
Unfortunately you have to realize that you are expendable like many other Americans. I finally accepted that fact when I was 26 and never worked for anyone else since.
When these workers demand higher wages the company will again relocate to another country where people will work for pennies.
THEY FORGOT HENRY FORD'S ECONOMIC PHILISOPHY THAT HIGHER WAGES WILL MAKE THEIR OWN WORKERS HIGH SPENDERS. THIS IS A CALCULATED ATTEMPT TO RECYCLE CORPORATE WEALTH THRROUGH THEIR WELATH CREATORS, THE WORKERS, TO TURN THEM INTO CUSTOMERS OF THEIR OWN PRODUCTS AND SERVICES WHICH IN TURN WILL MAKE HIM EARN HIGHER PROFITS THROUGH HIGHER SALES MADE POSSIBLE BY HIS FORD PHILOSOPHY WHICH IS "HIGH WAGE EARNERS ARE HIGH SPENDERS" WHICH EVEN HENRY FORD'S COMPANY OF THE 21ST CENTURY HAS FORGOTTEN BECAUSE OF CORPORATE GREED AND AVARICIOUSNESS AND INDIFFERENCE.
@@darthvader5300 That philosophy only worked because at that time America was the only free market so the country owned all the production.
Then you been conquering other countries and making them capitalists countries.
Now that they work harder, the philosophy doesn't work anymore.
The video left out one very important detail, the cost of living in Mexico vs the US or Canada. Rents and home prices in California for example, where the average home costs about a half a million dollars, can be 10 times higher than in Mexico.
@@rafaelmariscal9170 its alot more simple the Mexican guy Walked home to a 2 room hovel or something in a slum.
@@davidwestwater1914 It may be the case that people in Mexico live a more humble life but they usually own what they have. Here in the US the bank owns my home and my veichles. If I stop making payments I end up homeless.
You can't compare the wages in Mexico to Canada without taking into consideration the cost of living and healthcare!
Going to a Mexican hospital? Could work out ok but I'd much rather not.
You are right! The cost in living in Mexico is way cheaper than Canada.
@@davidwestwater1914 lol yet they have a better medical care and better doctors than USA why do you think many USA people go to Mexico for care
@@alfonsofrancisco2451 it's cheaper. They might have some private clinics that are ok but you can not compare mexican hospitals and american ones it's silly to even suggest that.
@@davidwestwater1914 I said better doctors not hospital I ask why so many USA niggas going to Mexico. U guys may have good hospital and doctors but for the price I'm scared to get sick.
So the products cost 90% less to make but the price stays the same 🤔 sounds about greedy
Run your own business and come back and tell the class what you have learned.
Sounds smart.
90% less to make? There are more costs to manufacturing than labor. Then there is 'shipping' of the goods.
Trump will handle it.
@@jaycolborn8897 trump helps trust fund babies like me dude not factory workers lol Maga2020
I remember US jobs going to Canada back in the 1980's.
I'm from Monterrey, the key there is not the cheap labor, is the culture of the people. The people from Monterrey is really really hard working people, they have a culture around the work, they have low crime levels, they have high education private and public school, they have good hospitals, and most of hall they have an entrepreneur culture.
Completely indeed, with what he says 10:48. I'm a mexican and I agree that foreign companies take advantage of us because of the lack of opportunities. Nowadays things are changing and we are gaining international competitively value because we are not too different as people from first world countries. Mexico has all that is needed for be a first world country and we will get it.
I'm 32, and remember my first job had Sterling as a client. It's amazing how quickly it went from being our biggest client to be completely gone. I moved to Toronto.
The cost of living is incredibly less in Mexico than Canada
But you never see a reduction in the Price for those same trucks for the End Purchaser.
@@Gcanno Not necessarily true, many manufactures will have lower end cars built in Mexico so they can offer the cars at a lower price. That is why you are seeing Mercedes and bmw's offered at prices lower than ever than before. You couldn't expect it either, unless it will increases sales or revenue. Companies are in business to maximize profits, not charity, although sometimes that also means passing on savings to stay competitive.
@@dy3812 there's BMWs and Mercedes plants in Mexico...
I don't know guys , but is kind of scary. I work in the Sony factory in Tijuana making tv and let me tell you. Is not just cheep they pay us. But the quality and quality is better sometimes and when they sale it to you in the U S A YOU PAY THE SAME PRICE. Like it was made in the U S A IS CRAZY 😱
Abel Godoy , let me tell you, today’s economy is not about MAKING products is about distribuyen them, for instance Walmart sales them Amazon sales almost anything , and a lot of American company’s does, so White people they have been the middle man in many commercial or service transactions that’s why they so dependent of China or other countries.
Do not buy...
Dental plan? lol
Even though Sony is from Japan, but thanks for making my TV!
That means More air pollution in Mexico.
Not necessarily. If they use electric equipment and the electricity is generated by use of natural gas, it may not be so bad. The terrible air pollution in China is because they use dirty burning coal to generate their electricity.
"flexibility of the people" = usually that means working extra hours with no payment whatsoever.
Exactly, I worked in a factory before and the wages are so low, the hours are so long, and if that wasn't enough they force overtime with little pay and our government allows it because it benefits them. Several times people were forced to stay overtime and threatened withe being fired if they didn't. Hate these people at the factories
yaddar 12 hours shift, get paid 8 and at low wage
thats why to use the words mexico is winning
is a slap in the face for the mexico people
who work and then go home to a cardboard box on the side of the factory
to their familys.
Barry Bass that is call american corporativism, other countries are worst.
Capitalist slime loving their slave labor.
Mastretta MXT is a 100% Mexican Sport Car.
True but unfortunately it hasn't done so well
+WassabiYakunglee I have high hopes for Mastretta, but right now not very good product.
+WassabiYakunglee Up to a certain extent, the engine is a damn chevy ecoboost
It's difficult to start a car company in Mexico when half of the country lives in poverty. Well, starting any large company in Mexico is very hard because Mexico's middle class is very small.
WassabiYakunglee they went bankrupt
I'm sorry to the other Canadians and U.S but I'm glad Mexico is growing. This gives me hope that my country won't be needing aid from the 2 northern brothers
Dancing Petal NAFTA was your aid...lol WTF are you smoking? It was designed to gut American industry for cheap labor south. But Mexicans may eventually realize how they're being hustled and demand more money.
True but with the experience and knowledge were gaining, mexico economy isn't growing rapidly but it's getting there. U.s and canada are losing jobs rapidly. Well they're only losing industrial jobs. . for now.
With Mexicans all over the world they're working and learning to bring back mexico. If only the u.s would stop bringing weapons to mexico but I guess it can't be help due to the fact there's so many drug addicts in the u.s
Dancing Petal And please hurry up and take your people back home. We're done taking care of other country's people. It's time for you to grow up and take care of yourselves.
You're pathetic America is ruined by money hungry fucks, u.s has corrupted and invaded countries. But it's ok. Karma is a bitch, while you're trying to figure out what's happening right now were already ahead and Americans? Pft there's already a lot foreign people in the government. So you're pretty much busting your ass for nothing.
I'm a few hours from these factories talked about in Monterey. Been there, seen them.
I started telling people in USA about this 20 years ago.
I was telling how modern and huge these factories were in MX, everybody looked at me like I was nuts in the USA. today they realized what happened. It's too late.
You ought see the Caterpillar and GE plant down there.
Godbless mexico from Philippines
i have a car here in america and yesterday i realized that it was made in Mexico. I Considered that Mexico is so smart in receiving less money for they workers because being honest in Mexico they expend less money in they daily life. and i considered Mexico as a great country full of opportunities.
+Palina Yurevich Exactly!, sometimes people do not think twice when they speak about the money a mexican makes a year, but what we buy is way more cheap too, especially food, services and houses
+Josue Lopez thats because labor is cheaper in Mexico, and it is quality labor, here in the US you have to pay a ridiculous amount of money to have a house built or any labor at all, an example is when my dad had his car's clutch replaced in Mexico for $45 dollars, here in the US I had to pay $500 dollars, that's a huge difference...
Ab Olmedo I understand all of that, I didn't deny it. That's why trade between the US and Mexico is good, the US is the leader power of the world and Mexico is on its way to the first world, that's a good combination, for now, it is better for us to be allies than enemies, I think.
+Josue Lopez I have a new video trying to sing the Mexican Hymn. :)
Josue Lopez yeah I know, I was just agreeing with you...
The Mexican worker is a machine, and we're educated in trades at a very early age. A twelve year old takes electric shop, and has the core knowledge to install the electrical system of a house, knows how a radio works internally - basic knowledge. Some other shops teach kids machine shop, building design and drafting, beauty care, computer repair etc. All kids in Mexico go thru a 3 year education process in a specific trade. Next, at the high school level we have to decide what specific subject area to study, by age 16 kids are being educated in meteorology, engineering, biology, chemistry, law, according to their specific interest. Therefore, even though many people in Mexico only have the Junior High or High School education equivalency, they'd been trained to join the labor force at a young age. Unfortunately, many of those kids never go to a university to expand this knowledge, and are force to join the labor force. The down side is that salaries are extremely low in Mexico, sometimes makes more financial sense for a math teacher to migrate to the US as a farm worker and exponentially multiply his earnings.
I like Mexicans ive worked with several of them and most of them are hard workers and good people the only thing I'm upset about is big business taking our jobs from here to there
Rick Smith Are you also upset there is no milkman jobs, what about telegraph operator, travel agents, wedding photographers, etc? In the past, many people used to make a good living doing the jobs I just mentioned and many others - they're replaced by innovation, technology and capitalism.
After WWII the US became an industrial manufacturing country - there was no competition from Europe, Latin America or Asia, that lasted a good sixty years, now the economy has shifted to customer service, finance, health care services and technology. We can blame Mexicans and Indians all we want, but that is not reality. Go to college, and take a few Economic Classes, you'll understand this topic much better.
Today, commercial truck drivers make a good living, some even make 100k a year, guess what? This type of job will go away in the near 50 years due to self driving cars, it is only a matter of time companies will find a commercial application for them.
I have a Master's degree in languages, logic dictates I should have the most amazing job - and I don't. Computer software have replaced teachers, a person can self taught any language - am I going to be upset? Of course not, I have to innovate and learn a new set of skills.
A few things have to change in our economic system. We have to reduce the working hours to possibly three days a week, that way more people can be employed. Also, people are living much longer 80 or 90 years, taking care of so many old people who are not contributing is depleting our economic resources, retirement should be delayed at minimum ten more years.
Lastly, the American people have to keep their living expectations in check. Back in the 50s a family had only one car, today each member of a family has one. People change cell phones at least once every two years, computers every three years, there are hundreds of physical jobs such as working in the agricultural fields, milking cows, butchers, lawn mowing, but nobody wants to do those jobs - we're too f..n spoil. Also, it depends where you live, if you live in SF making 3,000 dollars a month you're screwed, but the same amount of many goes a long way somewhere else.
I don't mind Mexican workers and I don't mind them working in their country but what I don't like is fat cat republicans impoverishing a town moving good jobs to a third world country just to save a few bucks leaving American families struggling to make ends meet
I visited Monterrey-Saltillo region. It is a nice area with a lot of manufacturing facilities and warehouses. There are a lot of good restaurants. People are well off there.
LOL! They're flying the Canadian flag upside down.
Pretty soon Mexico will start talking about building a wall to us out and make us pay for it.
A3Kr0n we the american goint to pay for the wall thats for sure.
I busted laughing when I also saw the flag upside down 😂😂 savage
I will contribute my tax $'s for a wall!
Been
😋😊😋😊🙂
I noticed that, and scrolled down to see this was the first comment I saw. Unbelievable.
Who ever put the Canadian flag upside down has no chill
I know XD, that must have a mistake, I was wondering if anyone had noticed that XD
Kelly Clark lol they didn't mean it, Mexicans joke around 24/7 :D
Not funny.
That was a corporate white collar American dude
Who cares it's Canada 😂😂😂😂
México es jefe...
México es la nación líder de hispanoamerica
Jefe de mis Tortas y Marijuana taco putos !
Mexican, US and Canadian auto workers should form a single union.
Then these companies will just look for the next best thing. Perhaps Africa or southeast Asia. Mexico would only be shooting itself in the foot by eloping with U.S and Canadian workers. Their best bet is to maintain their comparative advantage.
UAW is corrupt- senior union leadership colludes with corporate managers to undermine rank & file workers all the time! They've sold out! They retire as millionaires while the rank & file lose their jobs and their wages & pensions disappear into the pockets of both corporate & union "leaders" pockets!
UNION really? that's what we need another union?
Leif Harmsen ::: American workers are much protected by labor laws they should not scare their factories to resettle in other countries... They must stay on working for their families their country. Profit is everyone's desire to exist without it they will find other places to set up shop. If they cannot find .... Kaput no more factories... USA is losing manufacturing business....resulting to unemployment then become a second class power... Humble yourselves greed exists everywhere from politicians, to employers & employees and countries... Manufacturing is strategic industry lose it and lose ur edge in the world... Resulting in a war that u may lose & have ur love ones killed...
Leif Harmsen : there is enough labor laws to protect American worker you can do away with union who only complicate matters and collude with owners. Labor unions are ok to a certain point but when it crosses the line become a liability to the workers,industry & country.
no, Mexico is NOT wining the car manufacturing war, corporations are the ones who win. Corporations moving to Mexico result in depressed wages for the Mexican worker. The usual response is "we pay competitive wages" but the the truth is that this is not so, as they know that the same wage in their country is far higher.
The representative from Nuevo Leon is full of it, of course Mexico is a source of cheap labor, otherwise these companies would not be here!
Sadly due to corruption, there is no hope for the Mexican worker to improve in this situation.
Dustin, you have no idea! like you say, it is just above slavery. Would you believe that a "good" wage for these laborers is $300 USD a month? *Before* taxes!!!!!
That is the problem, the corruption and the unmitigated greed the Mexican politicians have. There is no solution in sight at the moment.
The capitalists will leave your communities with a big mess to clean up. USA corporations have no soul.
Someone hates Mexicans
And then folks like them are illegally crossing into my country... A country my grandparents LEGALLY immigrated too! Hey, at least they keep agents of the USBP and other agencies employed.
My tv was made in Mexico and It has lasted me 10 yrs and more to come. Now the other hand my brother bought a Samsung and. . It has a glitch and it only lasted 1 year
+Dancing Petal Samsung is made in mexico too..
+Jose Chimal that is true but the one I had was made in Korea, we had a sony but we became greedy and switched it with a samsung but that had problems so we then switched it again to a upgraded sony
Ha yup Samsung tvs are made in Tijuana.
+Gregorio Gomez NOT ALL
NEIHEL ROA what? Not at all! explain that because Mexico is the main manufacturer of Flat Tv's at the moment. Not only from Samsung but there are some other brands that also have their plants in the country.
the cost of living in Canadá and in the USA is much more higher at the end is the same check.
Canada has better social rights so their domestic market is better. Invest and innovate.
It actually is not the same, just did a quick calculation and if in my country, someone was to earn at least $6000 per year, you could take your 2 kids to private schools with great education and afford to own a home. At $7200 you have a town home, a country home and two cars in the compound. So the cost of living in the U.S and Canada is high. If you paid people a U.S cops salary of about $30-35000 in any country in Africa, people would own multiple homes, at least 5 high end cars if you wanted, like Range Rovers and Landcruisers, Mercedes...Avocados are cheap here and come in at 20cents in dollars, I heard of the cost of an avocado in the U.S and Australia I almost fainted hehehehe.
So true
Escocrier Tres ć0
that illustrationary cost of living that canada has, time to go back to the basement dude
Cheap labour more profit for car companies. There cost in Canada per unit is 1/3 of retail price. Can you say scam
yeah but don't you remember the car companies going bankrupt a few years ago... so you think using the Canadian Taxpayer's money to bailout GM is reasonable
the only ones that benefit are the big companies what a surprise!
Why is everything a war now? War on Christmas, war on wheat, war on hunger, war on gluten, war on crime(I find that one particularly lulzy), car manufacturing war, war on indigestion, war on high prices, the list goes on.
So jews can make their money. Peace is free but war is expensive.
+LEECHESANDCREAM Because our generation has never went to a real war, that's why.
"We don't have a cheap labor." Yes, yes you have it.
At least the top 1% doesn't discriminate when it comes to who they're going to fuck over next.
true very true
good point.
When your job can be done by anyone, you can't demand high wages. This is unskilled labor, not open heart surgery.
Chrysler and GM plants in Ramos have been there since before Nafta..
Yes but they could not sell to USA I think they had tarrifs
Hooooo se las metiste
The vid didn't even touch on automation and robots....HUGE game changer here now
Most of the Chrysler engines and parts now come with made in Mexico tag on them.
Very informative video and program.
does the saving on labor get passed down to the customer or is that extra money for the pockets of the company?
+adriaNotfun good question !
I think we all know the answer to that question. The great greed of the corporate machine rules in this gilded age on meth.
adriaNotfun NO! Only the rich get to keep the profits. Owners and so on.
the price of cars has gone up a few percentage points each year. the cost of healthcare has gone up 10%. you be the judge if outsourcing keeps costs down.
For the Company, are you new to this concept?
Good for the Mexicans, they are welcoming business and are working hard to get ahead. Wages will go up with lower unemployment.
+Bill Whatcott and they get to stay where they really want to be ... at home in their beloved Mexico.
I really hope that would happen and Mexico to sussed but the government would have to change and that's impossible. No matter how hard the people work the government will spend the money on them and not the country or the people working
+Bill Whatcott Thanks bro, someday we will be as good as the US
+elian barocio That is true, but don't fall in the mistake to think that every politician is corrupted, that's not the case each year there is more justice in Mexico.
great reporting!
The Canadians and USA workers want to make too much money due Unions, and the coast of living in this countrys are more expensives.
Unions may be small part of the problem. Real problem is you have to pay most of your income to lawers via so call insurances, because you have much more laws and regulations in US.
In Canada the amount payroll deductions from the employer and employee were another problem contribute to the economy.
Gross pay always looks great! Until you see "Net pay"
Instead of blaming the union, CBC just focuses on bullshit. I myself am a Korean Canadian , and I have seen how the Koreans reacting to Kia leaving Korea for Mexico. Anyone can manufacture a car due to improvements in technology. The Canadians have been too complacent to begin with. Anyone can assemble a car nowadays. Give a worker a month or two, he or she will learn to assemble a car within that period.The technology is standardised and simple to mimic. Also, Canada does not have any domestic brand.Even if we have one, the company will ditch Canada for Mexico in a heart beat because of overpriced and overrated unions. Robots manufacture cars. If you want to see that, I will send you a video of Hyundai/Kia factory in Ulsan, South Korea. Why are we bitching? At one point, we stole our stolen jobs from our American counterparts. What is the point?
you have a point, this is the time to wake up and realize that we are dependent of big corporations, we need to unite or perish.
dirt dude None of your business whether the guy wants to preserve his freedoms and keep 2 citizenships, moron.
Every plant in Germany has unions. Every plant in Japan has Unions. And yet they get paid more and are more productive per worker. So it can't be the unions. What else could it be?
higher technical education ,learn to read and write ,dedicated to your company could be the answer and why Americans are just average lego builders of products.
Germany only makes their high-end cars where the profit margin is so high that they can take the hit of the higher wages. Look at where their low-end cars (VW Golf, Jetta) are made, Mexico.
this is called capitilism-economy based on supply, demand, and competition.
+Fernando Bran No honey, it is based on Scarceness and shameless fiddles
Its based on greed first and foremost.
No, it's based on out of control union contracts, over regulation, and over taxation, all democrat ideologies. If the US could break free of that BS, we could be more competitive. In fact, automation will make the cheap foreign labor obsolete in the future, the US needs to focus on the education of STEM students to keep our first world status. The US school system mandates propping up all the under achievers with the lion's share of the school funding pie, with no results, while we put little money into our bright and competent students. Government needs to get out of the way for capitalism to work as it should. Our nation depends on it.
Workers need to be free from greedy companies, now companies leave, what the problems? Dems do regulations and unions and so on, what the problem are?)))))) Workers are now free from their chains)))) Thank to dems)))) Companies are bad and need taxing heavily too, until they leave workers)))))))))))
Janice P Get real Unions make up 10% of the workforce. CEO and top Executives pay is in the stars but it’s the Unions. Really
Great reporting.
I work for Magna Powertain and it´s an amazing company!
smart Mexicans... Canadians didn't shuffle their cards correctly don't be mad at Mexico for working hard and attracting the work force to it's lands.
* Planned Obsolesence to increase sales -the industry uses certain (tested !) parts that will make the device fail reliiable ! after warranty time and will prohibit the repair of the product. They walk a fine line, but the increasing monopolies (large manufacturers merging) makes the scam easier. There are no medium sized competitors left who would compete the low quality high sales strategy of the big players with slightly higher prices but GOOD QUALITY in the medium segment. (The few that go against the trend, occupy the high end or "boutique" segment and have usually rather high prices for all the bells and whistles and to compensate for relatively small sales volumes). The solid middle got lost.
As a rule of thumb: the cheaper the product, the more Throw-Away product design. (So the standards for cars are higher, also because of security requirements. Washing machines tend to fail after 5 - 6 years and are often too cheap to warrant a repair. Small devices like hair dryers, mixers, coffee makers, CD players - forget it.
There is of course ALSO cutting corners to save costs resulting in shoddy quality. But PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE means:
Intentionally using parts that WILL reliably fail. Just not too early. And often it would cost hardly more to use a better part (a fraction of a USD !), or design it in a way that the device CAN be repaired at low costs. But they intentionally design / plan it otherwise so that customers are forced to buy new. Which is the only way to sell more and more. ***
They can't be too obvious about it, but for persons with technical expertise it has become quite obvious. France passed a law regarding it. It is highly problematic. Not only miss out consumers of the small advantages of losing jobs to countries with lower wages, it is a huge drain on the environment, energy use, pollution - that would even be true if the goods were manufactured under high standards. There is always some pressure put on the natural resources. We should aim to not have too many physical goods - and they should be of good quality and durable).
*** On the short term perspective, Big Biz could sell more devices (in the more durable quality like they used to be) if workers in the devoloping countries would not be exploited - those workes would like to increase their standard of living - they just can't - they are not paid enough.
And considering the future of the planet, our use of dwindling resources and energy, Global Warming ! - corporations will have to be FORCED to scaling down their output in PHYSICAL GOODS. Enough products to satisfy our needs, those in good quality and produced under high standards. A reduced work time - the 40 hour week (with a LIVING WAGE !) was introduced in the 1940 and 1950s - we have massively! improved productivity with automation, PCs, ....so WHY WOULD WE STILL WORK at least 40 hours to make a living ? And we would need to give each other meaningful work, income, and contracts by using each other's services. So instead of consuming goods, we would consume more experiences (dining out, going to styling workshops to work with the existing wardrobe, paying seamstresses, attending classes, going on holidays).
We cannot leave out future in the hands of entities whose sole purpose is to make as much profit as they possible can (and that is even written into law - the shareholders can legally hold a CEO accountable). Well the word for the ruling principle is GREED. And they naturally have an extremely narrow perspective.
So naturally they cannot watch out for the well-being of all - and must be reigned in.
Western brands are struggling to compete against Chinese companies on price considering that most of the growing demand is coming from developing countries where price counts more than brand name. This is the reason this trend has developed worldwide.
Products that are made in Mexico are going into the same par of quality of products that are made in Japan and Germany.
So happy for the Mexican Workers....I hope more jobs go down south to Mexico.
I believe the fruit basket needs to go around the world. They need to develop their country to today’s standards. Everything happened for a reason.
They're being exploited and under paid
@@spookycrane9318 No. It's just relocation from already rich countries to developing nations who aren't lazy
México es el Jefe y el líder Hispano/Latino americano
The Mexican culture is collectivist and they are very skilled hard working people it makes sense.
I'm mexican and i feel sad, i actually work in Tj, in a USA company but i earn too little for my work ☹
Lets go Mexico!!!
haha I hear they don't even get paid enough to live comfortably, maybe true. I'm in the U.S. and don't get paid enough to live comfortably
Mexican here. Guys this is not a fight between workers or even countries, a race to the bottom will take us nowhere, this is about social inequality. In the end all this competition only benefits some rich guy.
I'm all for hard work and making money, I'm also ok with a degree of inequality, but the massive income gap we have in our modern societies is just insane. I's not ok, we are all being taken advantage of.
Until we wake up to this reality nothing will be ok in terms of livable wages and work/life balance.
less business costs , means cheaper cars . so consumers win . The bmw m3 is 20k cheaper in Australia than years ago
Canadian: They should get paid 20$ like us
...Okayyy but you don’t have a job, this is why your job just got shipped to Mexico
A big factor in this is the union and union work rules. Unions in Canada have a reputation of being pretty belligerent and difficult to deal with. There are no unions in Mexico and probably won't be for a very long time. The work rules there are much more flexible and that alone can represent a big saving for the company.
Mexicans love to work. They are very thankful for their jobs. They have high respect for the company's that go in Mexico, and trust the employees with their labor. American workers are comparatively lazy, they complain, they talk back to their supervisors, that is unheard in Mexico. Its no wonder why so many companys go to Mexico
Smart move getting into HVAC. Should be able to make over 100K with the right situation.
If the people in Mexico make the same money that in Canada, the the company will go to :
Vietnam, China, Malaysia, North Korea, India , etc, etc, etc.
In those places the salary is low and there is no union .
The union has no possibilities in those places.
I'm Mexican and I know Mexico is one of the best countries in the world it's rich in oil and other things and can develop many other jobs but as hard as the people work the government will spend the money on them and not for the country as it should be.That's why Mexico economy is not good if the government changes I believe Mexico could be the best country in the world
+elian barocio
If only the people were brave enough to start another revolutionary war to overthrow the corrupt government. More than likely it'll never happen, or if it does then there might be another government established that's just as corrupt.
+Gerardo Tellez yea i agree but people don't realize how bad things are in their country is until they live in another one
+elian barocio Ironic that the low wages you lament are the reason for the economic boom that Monterrey has experienced. You can't have it both ways.
+Jorge Arellano Data shows, Mexico is the twelfth economic power in the world, Italy is the 13th and the UK is the 11th. Again, based on the hard data, Mexico is expected to surpass the UK in the immediate future. In the Global economy, Europe is in an economic recession, China's economy is doing horribly. The US exports will reduce dramatically if those to markets keep shrinking, so it is expected Mexico could become the 10th or 9th largest economy by the year 2020. Additionally, Mexico and the US have the largest trade in the world, the US sales more products to Mexico than all Europe and Asia combined. Friend, Mexico is a major economic player in the world, here is the but. We need to start owning our own shit, I'm talking about intellectual property, we know how to make computers, but we don't own the rights. We make amazing trucks, but we don't own the rights, we need to create our own facebook and sell it to the world. "Estamos en vías de desarrollo" es una excusa ochentera, México ya no está' en vías de desarrollo, somos una economía emergente que es muy diferente. Por último tenemos que tener mejor infraestructura en provincia, como carreteras, electricidad e internet - que no son cosas muy difíciles de obtener. "No nacimos donde no hay que comer, no hay que preguntarnos como le vamos hacer, si nos pintan como unos guevones, no lo somos y viva México cabrones." Te sugiero que te quitas esas telarañas de la mente, y a estudia y trabajar que bien que se puede.
+Jorge Arellano usted tiene mucha razon... yo siempre lo he pensado eso es lo que las persona que hacen protests en las calles deven de enseñar a la gente NO A PEDIR TETA
I remember Hyundai build a car plant in Bromont in the early 1990's. What I read was that the city of Montreal and the province of Quebec would not even buy vehicle from them. Hyundai was nothing and would never replace US car companys. The general negative attitude toward Hyundai lead the plant to close. Same story for Volvo in Halifax so we have nobody to blame but us.
Salaries are going up in Mexico, so that gap with Canada and the US is getting smaller as time goes on, but still Mexico buys everything from food to hi-tech from the US and Canada, you don't get that with China, China's wages are also going up but they still block companies like Google and Facebook and Bombardier from entering their market. Not to mention that profits still go to American and Canadian shareholders and that this same companies need low wages for their products to remain price competitive with chinese companies.
No hay nada comparado con ganar menos pero vivir en tu propio país. Al lado de la nalga que amas, con tus hijos sin que te vean con ojos de desprecio. Aún así, tu sueldo en el extranjero nunca lo igualarás el sueldo de los que son del país donde no perteneces.
This video was kind of bull shit the only ones you can blame are the consumers that don't want prices to rise they always want the cheapest price can't blame Mexico or Mexicans. Then they try and compare the wage of what people get paid in Canada to what that same company is paying in Mexico of course it shouldn't be the same who are you kidding it should be adjusted to cost of living/ minimum wage in Mexico. Above all else this is what they call business deal with it because we are all apart of it.
Sounds like you watch too much Fox news and their billionaire talking points.
Andres Reyes And I wonder why do customers as for a lower price, I guess it's because of increasing expenses and who do u blame for that? Capitalism!
the product the mexicans produce should then be a cheaper product then an american assembled product . i mean it did cost cheaper to make right ?. no ?
property ,energy bill, food cost, countless over seas first class trips , you know the usual affordable things in life.
Saludos desde Ramos raza!
Sera posible algun dia ver a Mexico desarrollado y bonito como USA, con sus casas grandes con hermosos jardines?
esas casas son malas para el ambiente, demaciado desperdicio de espacio y recursos
en mi ciudad ya no es posible porque ya están construidas las casas pero aquí cerca de Polanco CDMX todas las casas están siendo remodeladas porque tienen más plusvalía.
pero ciudades jóvenes como Mérida, Querétaro, León , Morelia, Boca del Río, Pachuca están quedando muy bellas y con casas de buen diseño.😊
im live in Monterrey !! is amazing !!
If you want to know where is the real manufacture's house power go to the Mexican Bajío Area: Honda, Mazda, Toyota, GM, VW, Audi, Nissan, and others are already here and many others in line waiting for set in.
+Josef KRAKOVIC actually last year there was more Mexicans leaving then entering the U.S
***** Shut up you fist fuck. You're nothing else but a chicken queen.
Quality comes with training and education of the product.
*You're there for cheep labor cost period.*
The upside down Canadian flag a sign of things to come
I am curious how the unions were reacting to cost cutting and efficiency projects in the years up to the closing of their plants.
I worked at a unionized plant in eastern Ontario every attempt at increasing productivity was shot down and fought tooth and nail by the union. Companies like private citizens are always looking for value for money, and they were not getting it in Canada, UK, or US, so they went looking and now they have a low paid work force that is motivated and embraces efficiency projects. We did it to our selves. good for Mexico.
Most people who aren't business owners, accountants, and a few others . . . don't understand what it takes to provide a job or operate a business. It's certainly obvious that too many lawmakers don't really understand it when they pile regulation upon regulation and push for higher and higher minimum wages . . . with regard for market conditions.
Latinos are hard working people thats why the productivity is higher in Mexico
Explain why the windshields (and sunroof glass) aren't being glued on properly and windshields are flying off Fords while people are driving since Ford moved their production plants to Mexico?
@@Foreallionaire probably because _FORD_ isn't correcting the issue.
Nothing to do with skilled labor but good training.Train them right and have a good quality control and you have a superior product
I’m Mexican/American citizen and I just bought a truck even though I’m Mexican I looked for one that was built in the USA, the closest I got was a truck 80% American and 20% Mexican/Canadian parts
Latinos the worlds largest producer of man power!
slave labor does not suit you.
10:00 Welcome to our world buddy . The 99%
It's because companies like GM and Chrysler went through bankruptcies the only way they can sustain themselves is by relocating to a country with a lower operation costs to pay off their debts... these companies borrowed a lot of money from the banks and governments to stay afloat... the reality is that the workforce has to be able to transition to other jobs
It's all about corporate greed. The cost of living is less in Mexico so they can afford to work for less, but the companies still sell the product for the same inflated prices.
Oh, Canada!
+Archie Richard what makes you think is just canada you piece of shit we took out all the car companys un the u.s look at detroit
Archie Richard deport me bitch haha
Moose heads. Sweep that ice.
Why was the Canadian flag upside down?
LosAngeles323 because this is mexico
jacob villar Still, rude LOL
Because it is a maple leaf. It don't matter.
Mexicans are extremely nationalistic. To the point of displaying the racism they often accuse their northern neighbors of.
I am a citizen of both Mexico and Canada and have lived in all of Northamerica, including the US. I can see the conflict of the situation but it is not the workers fault in either country, it's the socioeconomic system that creates the contradiction. Canada's answer to this labor competition will be to develop robots to produce 24 hours a day to lower costs, but the problem is the capitalist system gives the profit to the robots owners while the former workers are cut out of the picture. IT'S IN HOW THE PROFITS ARE DIVIDED WHERE THE SOLUTION WILL BE FOUND. Off work laborers have no purchasing power, therefore no consumption. Who will the robot factories will be selling to? That is the question and why the economic system has to change.
Statistics show China's huge manufacturing base grew from low wages, and yet today China is the largest investor in automation and robotics because they see where the future is going. Canada has to think deep in moving on from the old economic system and do what China is doing.
This is why protective tariffs are so important to a country’s economy. Globalist will argue that it makes a industry more competitive and lowers prices to consumers. Rarely this is true with no lowering of price and with most of the additional revenues going to corporate investors. Meanwhile with the loss of jobs people and local communities are destroyed.
The average mexican worker earns 7.8 dollars for a day's work and they work faster,sometimes smarter,how do you beat that ?
With globalization, there are always cheaper labor forces. When companies get tired of paying Mexicans $7.80 a day, they will go to Honduras and pay some workers $4 a day. Then they'll move to China or Malaysia or Nicaragua and pay the workers $2 a day. It's a race to the bottom.
+Dave M I really don't think so, transportation is not cheap at all so whatever extra is paid to a mexican worker gets compensated by the short distances between Mexico and the USA.
I agree
Sounds like slave workers to me. The billionaires must love you guys.
Rob collette They we’re paid less, but their living cost is much cheaper. The workers live decent lives in Mexico.
Made in Mexico means cheap but big quality. And it's getting better everyday.
Sure looks like it..Trump has his work cut out
More like "how corporate auto companies are making a killing off of cheap Mexican labor."
viva mexico !! mexico has the champ's in boxing !! 169 word champs in the history!!
México time has come
I hope so. I wish the Mexican people well in a future common wealth.
Bryan Galdamez stay in Mexico
The union is to blame for factories leaving.
its management wanting to screw the workers look at Detroit its a ghost town it was the auto manufacturer of the world it can happen to mexico when the companys find someone else to underpay
Greedy capitalists are to blame for leaving. Un-holy profit margins for the few.
Corporate, unions... how about cost of living? Canada and US are a lot more expensive than Mexico, China, India, Vietnam, Central America, etc.
Unions can't do anything if the company is heading to another country.
Perhaps it would make sense to have a union representative site with the CFO of these companies to look at the financials in order to understand what the business outlook is. If wages will only go up while competition is holding prices for vehicles flat or down then something has to give.
Even Mexico disrespects Canada by flying the flag upside down.
I dont know why or who put that image. Maybe the person who made the film. I am a Canadian living in Mexico and Every Mexican I have ever met has a lot of respect for Canadians.
@@fishbake7 that's because they see u as a dollar sign...or I guess in they case a peso sign
well this is globalism, as a business you will always look for profit and cheap labor
+Desert Eagle We the globalists use the cheap labor force of Cubans and venezuelans
Sounds to me the union screwed this up. I remember they prevented Ford from updating there assembly line to make it more efficient.
Michael Heider Why this hate against unions in the US? In Sweden almost all workers across all sectors of the economy is members of a union and our factories are making records meanwhile paying our workers a very good pay. Volvo Trucks for exemple which I used to work for is one of the largest truck manufacturers, here in gothenburg a factory worker is one of the most sought after jobs.
Same in germany a automaker powerhouse, unions are very strong there as well.
even when Christofer Columbus made to the America's, he said the same thing, these people are good hard workers
What about vertical farming? Gaining electricity with solar panels and the power of rain and wind.
