On the bright side, Trump can now take credit for Making Mexico Great Again!! See, he really loves Mexicans.
Stack-On, which has operated in the Chicago area for 40 years, makes storage products ranging from tool boxes to gun vaults that are sold at Menards, Walmart and other mass retailers.
The company already has a plant in China and another in Mexico.
This is a propaganda puff piece.
They already have 2/3 of their operations overseas and are moving the rest now.
The CEO and Shareholders need to make more money with slave labor.
Just another leftist company owner wanting to place blame on someone other than themselves. They CAN buy steel here but choose not to. Their problem not ours. I hope their crap is taxed as high as possible coming back into the US.
Have to agree.
Their goods are sold at Menards, Walmart and other mass retailers.
They want to use slave labor abroad and sell their junk back in this country.
Time to kick their lobbyists out of DC as well.
Why focus on 150 vs the millions who lost their manufacturing jobs to China, Mexico, etc over several decades? Why the spotlight for these folks? Are these jobs or employees any more important than the rest?
Since the 70’s more jobs have been eliminated due to technology substitution/ industrial robotics than offshoring.
If they are opening a plant in Juarez, the media is not telling you that these US companies will be forced into paying 'operating fees' to the drug cartels, who control the regions. I know a lawyer that specializes in negotiating deals like this, (its become a huge issue), the lawyers try to get the cartels to accept a one time lump sum payment instead of monthly payments over years. One of the largest US paper/plastic bag companies just got thru one of these deals, they had to write a single big check to the cartel that controlled the area their factory was in...its just a part of doing business in Mexico.
I have no sympathy at all for any company who wishes to make insane profits on the backs of slave labor instead of supporting American jobs by buying their material from American suppliers. I hope they ALL go out of business to be honest.

It’s totally worth it to avoid paying a living wage.

Agreed- i wonder just how much money they are supposedly supposed to be saving by doing this? And it should be pointed ou that this company is sacrificing quality by buying the cheapest, slag possible to make their products
