1,400 Indiana Workers Learn Their Jobs Are Going to Mexico

Carrier is just making a sound business decision, why pay 1,400 workers 21+ an hour and benefits when you can pay 6 bucks an hour?
 
Solution is simple buy American. Oh and what make car do you drive? And please no nonsense about it is made here. See sig.

Americans pay for unions in Korea, Japan, and Germany but whine about unions in America. German union workers make twice what American union workers make and they even have socialized medicine and free college. Americans are fools played by corporations and dancing like puppets.

"For example, the index gives an American-made car no credit in the profit margin category if the carmaker is based overseas. With Ford Motor Company and General Motors, DuBois argues, the majority of the company's shareholders are in the U.S., "and the profits go to the central coffers and are paid out" to mostly U.S. shareholders. With a foreign carmaker such as Honda, KIA or Porsche, the profits primarily go back to shareholders in their home countries, he says."

America's Biggest Companies Continue To Move Factories Offshore And Eliminate Thousands of American Jobs

'America's Biggest Companies Continue To Move Factories Offshore And Eliminate Thousands of American Jobs'

And way down here is the solution, pay attention, support politicians who support America in more that just rhetoric. Buy American and let the corporations and media know you're on to them. Power is in numbers. Donald Trump won't be our next president, but I'm glad he brought up a bit of the reality of economics today.

"If any single number captures the state of the American economy over the last decade, it is zero. That was the net gain in jobs between 1999 and 2009—nada, nil, zip. By painful contrast, from the 1940s through the 1990s, recessions came and went, but no decade ended without at least a 20 percent increase in the number of jobs." Washington Monthly

"The recent job actions and “Black Friday” protests at Walmart underscored the dismal wages and working conditions of many of the nation’s retail workers. Walmart hasn’t staked out some low-wage, no-benefit margin of the labor market: its labor and compensation practices are now the mainstream. For most of the last century, the worst employers in the United States—the tenement sweatshop, the company-town mine—were remnants of our past. Today, they are glimpses into our future." Dissent magazine

"At the top of this list is a trade policy that was designed to put manufacturing workers in direct competition with low-paid workers in the developing world. This had the predicted and actual effect of lowering the wages of U.S. manufacturing workers. Since manufacturing jobs are comparatively well-paying jobs for the 70 percent of the workforce without a college degree, this policy had the effect of lowering wages for this larger group of workers as well." Counterpunch

Why is it Americans do not call out media sources that criticize American companies for government support while they ignore other nations where government suppliers and manufacturers cooperate and collaborate. Consider imports to Japan (Keiretsu). Why no mention of Japan's embargoes? Fox constantly mentions GM in a negative tone, as do most American conservative media sources. Why not call them out for bias? Rush Limbaugh supports Germany with his auto purchases, while he criticizes America's workers, does anyone notice? Glenn Beck and most of the others never touch the hard topics of fair wages, outsourcing, monetary manipulation, or work in sweat shops that amount to slavery conditions. Now all of a sudden the conservatives are noticing inequality as if it materialized this past year.

"Japan ships 1.5 million cars to America each year, but allows only 20,000 American cars into its own market. Since 2012, Japan’s yen has devalued by 50 percent against the dollar. Now Japan wants tariff-free access to the U.S. market through the TPP while it continues to cheat on currency." see American Manufacturing.org and TPP

Clinton and UNIONS just made these people lose their jobs. Unions with their demands and Clinton because of NAFTA

Bush SR, started the workings of Nafta, and Bush Jr expanded it. Blame the companies.

No wonder, the poor company only made 1.63 Billion the 2nd qtr.(Net)

The move came after UTC Corp.'s net sales fell 5% to $16.3 billion for the second quarter, and net income fell 8% to $1.64 billion. Hayes warned on a conference call earlier this month that "we're going to take a hard look at restructuring.

A question nobody is considering. How much of the company's problems come from government rules and regulations which increase their cost of doing business.

Companies and corporations are NOT non-profit entities. They are there to make a profit. If that means going elsewhere to do business, well that's simple common sense.

Please do tell us with a straight face, the Unions in Japan and Germany are the same ones here.

Companies are caught in the governmental vise of high taxes and oppressive regulations. If they want to survive they have to leave.

The hat on the left probably cost less than $1.00 to make. The hat on the right probably cost in excess of $10.00.
To a billionaire it should matter, what with the shortage of funds a billionaire runs into these days...
