Not just that. with that Idiot that runs UAW...More Automakers are moving to Mexico. VW has massive facilities in Mexico. Toyota preemptively has moved all Tacoma production to Mexico. Ram, Chevy, etc. have also setup shop south of the border.

Sure and the fact they the typical rates are only 28-32% of the UAW rates...Corporations will looks to optimize their margins. Automation is already replacing many entry level roles everywhere. Cheap Labor overseas has been replacing Tech jobs for the last 20 years. Heck even offshore platforms are being planned in locations in the Gulf of Mexico just outside US jurisdictions to save on regulatory and labor costs...

Man, this thread is great, it's like the special olympics version of the high school debate team's practice debates.

Pretend like US corporations weren't going to implement more automation anyway, and haven't been outsourcing for decades.

What, then, is the answer? Would you like workers to have less power and continue making less relative to expenses? Is that it?

Union in places like MX and developing countries tend to whip their workers in line, the workers also know, thousands are waiting to snap their jobs up for less pay.
I get the sense this is what many US corporations would prefer, along with many people in this thread. It's interesting, isn't it? I believed most of us were Americans, but maybe that isn't the case.

Ooh, thinly veiled insinuation that someone who doesn't agree with you isn't a real American.

Cmon there has to be a combined 69 years of degrees in here, with all that knowledge they have to be terrified all the time knowing more than anyone else.

Could it be that everyone in this thread is just so much smarter than everyone else in this thread that it's lead to analysis paralysis and they just appear to be retards even though they're the real big brain, donchaknow?

Shit, if that blew your mind, put yourself in my shoes when I showed up in this thread to find so many cunts running about I had to check and see if I'd accidentally pulled up PornHub.

Well for sure the answer is not to price labor so high that it makes it unfeasible to continue to pay it. And again, we aren't talking about people who are being taken advantage of by their employer. These are some of the absolute highest paid production workers in the world already.

Ah yes, the absolute pinnacle of debate. An Ad Hominem attack.

Well we all know arguing on the internet is just turn based combat maybe they are just really big table top gaming fans ... those guys are a bunch of whiny cunts too a lot of the time so it fits
