The United Auto Workers (UAW) union said that Ford Motor Co.’s plan to build a new vehicle in Mexico instead of Ohio might be a violation of the auto manufacturer’s contractual commitments.
“We 100 percent reject the company’s decision to put corporate greed and more potential profits over American jobs and the future of our members. We expect the company to honor its contractual commitments to this membership and when it fails to do so we will take action,” UAW Vice President Gerald Kariem said. “We are intensely exploring our options at this time,” he added.

New Americans agree that we ned higher corporate income taxes. "Soak the rich," they babble, with no understanding that the globalists chase the cheap labor.

Those jobs should stay in the USA.
NAFTA was a very bad idea.

Cause: To avoid Biden's promised tax increases.
This is just the beginning.

It was rumored the unfortunate King Midas had an even more unfortunate brother. Everything HE touched turned to ... well, Biden.

Trump did everything he could to keep American jobs in the USA, now after Biden assumes office a lot of American jobs are shutdown inside the USA and others are being sent to Mexico. The labor unions that urged their members to vote for Biden and the Democrats should be asking themselves if all that is just a coincidence with Biden being installed as President. When Trump left office gasoline around here could be purchased for $1.69 a gallon, now it is selling for $2.78 a gallon, the unions should also be asking themselves how will that adversely impact auto workers when gasoline hits $5.00 a gallon and people slowdown their purchases of new motor vehicles. Clearly the unions must be led by a whole bunch of money grubbing and silly people.

I managed hourly workers in a right to work State at a plant with a represented workforce. I never had problems with any of the "scabs" who came to work on time and competently did their jobs. About 20% of the union should have been fired outright but the arbitration process was tedious and most supervisors did not want to have to spend the time and frustration dealing with it. I know a union employee who should have been terminated multiple times retire after 30 years. I never understood why ethical workers joined the union. Intimidation, I suppose.
BTW where's Hunter?

Could it be that Ford does not want to deal with crippling new environmental regulations under Biden? Unbridled Union power under Biden? Biden's soak the rich, hate corporations attitude? Biden's upcoming increase in corporate income taxes? $15.00 minimum wage which will make the unions want to renegotiate already bloated pay rates and benefit packages? Demand that all new factories be "green" substantially increasing costs under Biden and liberal Democrats? Shall I go on? Elections have consequences, the union chose wrong!

Trump advocated for lower corporate taxes to encourage businesses to bring jobs back to the U.S. Trouble is, because of the fraud, companies didn't have time to bring back as many jobs as they could have before the communists took control.

Used to be part of the Buy American mindset. Then I found out that the Ford Escort I was driving was made in Mexico (during a siesta) whereas Toyota Camrys were made in Kentucky. The Escort was constant frustrations. Plus I felt like a Big Mac in a box. Ford has seen the last of me.

Next time vote for the Republican candidate in 2024 President Donald Trump. If you continue to vote Democrat it only proves you can't fix stupid.

Dems: "Vote for us and we will move your jobs to Mexico and China."
Workers: "OK"
After the election, jobs go away and workers are shocked.
