When I see stories like this I can only wonder what people would have thought about this a hundred years ago. Our former and current elected representatives have sold their souls. That can be the only explanation for our current business environment in the United States. They gave it all away.
I can't blame ford for this decision as I sit on my bench watching all kinds of cars drive past. The brands are Kia, Hyundai, oh there's a Volkswagen. I write this while wearing my made in Sri Lanka hat, my Chinese shoes and my shirt from El Salvador. Yes I looked at the labels to see. We did this to ourselves but hey money talks.
I can now buy a Subaru or Toyota built in my home state "Chevy truck to".
So do I buy an American made vehicle now? What is an American made vehicle?
Mexican ford or indiana Toyota?
Funny how foreign automakers can build cars in America and make a profit but American automakers can't.
Our goverment failed to protect our economy and we the people let them get away with it. Hopefully our children will be smarter than we were.
Ford said there will be zero job losses in the U.S. as a result of the new plant in Mexico. The Wayne, Michigan, plant that now builds the Focus and C-Max that will move to Mexico will instead start building other models -- probably the new Ford Bronco SUV and Ranger small pickup.
Our standard of living is too high for the American worker to compete on a global scale.
Average auto worker in Mexico makes $3.29/hr vs $23.83 for a US. The move is expected to save Ford $1300 per car in costs.

Absa freakin lutely the truth.

regardless what the Unions have done and if we get rid of them all it will not stop jobs going overseas when there is such an incentive for companies to exploit third world wages and lack of labor laws.
Perhaps they need to start Global unions, That will Sh1t the hell out of the Corps.

That's what Ford had to say about this issue.
