Glad to know that my 2016 Honda Civic i just bought my wife was assembled in indiana........ford is a american car company , but made in mexico! HAH what a joke
The factories are gone and the clothing industry has practically died here. It is just about dead.. In my area in NJ there were factories making clothes in many towns .
I remember the unions were fighting for the workers .. look for the Union label .. made here.
Ford warned UAW / members they would relocate the operation to Mexico during negotiations.
UAW held firm.
Ford is bringing this to a natural conclusion.
Mexico has more free trade agreements with the rest of the world than any other country.
Ford exports small cars to the rest of the world. Mexico makes it a no brainier.
An auto manufacturer is not going to survive by limiting sales to just 5% of the world's population who reside in the US when it has the opportunity to sell product to the 95% who live elsewhere.
HMMph HMMPh HIS stuff is made overseas -- hello? anyone home??
10 pages later still people not home... So trump is going to ruin his businesses to keep his promises true to the American people and bring all his overseas products back to the states ?? really.

Actually, Renegotiating NAFTA would mean undoing the economic infrastructure that ties Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. It would likely mean that Congress would be involved because this is how we do it in the U.S.
Even Republicans are worried that the Trump effect at the polls could help liberals and progressives grab power in the chamber that's responsible for national spending and taxes.
So those who believe Trump alone can fix things, well, they need to realize it is not that simple.
As far as unions go I am agnostic. Join one if you want to, and you shouldn't have to if you don't want to.
That said why should those who actually do the work agree to take less so those sitting at home on their asses watching a ticker get more?
I, like tens of millions of other Americans have a 401K. I go to work, for a Japanese multinational everyday, and hope the Dow Jones goes up. I need about another 100K before I can go to leisurely self-employment. Hopefully about 3 years.

You are owed nothing. Put in some O/T or volunteer to take a pay cut so your stock prices go up.
