Ford lays off 600 workers at plant targeted by UAW strike
Ford is laying off workers while the UAW is striking against Ford, GM, and Stellantis. This is getting complicated.

Making cars in the US makes no sense. The cost of living is too high. It's much easier to make them in Mexico and ship them.
If they want their new EVs to be eligible federal tax credit, the cars need to undergo final assembly in the US. Not to mention we just went through a pandemic that showed us the weaknesses of shipping all our manufacturing to third world countries.
your weakness, not mine
Where do you live? The moon?
Not in the US
Then you have no idea why things NEED to be made here too. Everywhere needs jobs regardless of the country. People need money to spend on things, old things need replaced with new ones sometimes, and the economy fails with no jobs at all. Your comments are short sighted and fail to recognize to unique circumstances of the USA and its needs as you are not a citizen, you don't know how it actually is here or why Union jobs are important to the working class.
You read too many sensational 'America Bad' articles and it shows.
Hey, maybe it'll make you invade less countries and murder fewer people.
That makes sense for a techbro or a financebro, but turning the blue collar labour force into a horde of minimum wage slaves serving coffee and delivering UPS packages isn't exactly the future that those people want.
I doubt their wants will have a say in this matter.
Are you immune to being stabbed by pitchforks?
Let them eat cake
I'd rather eat billionaires
Don't worry
They booing you but your right.
*you’re
(and no, they’re not)
You know there’s more of them, right?
Yeah, we shouldn’t make anything expensive in the US. We should make them abroad and then the unemployed hordes will buy those goods!
Your statement is too stupid to be anything but a troll.
non-Americans can buy stuff too. Not everything gets made for America.
You'd have a point, if it weren't for the fact that you're targeting the wrong issues.
Fuck off you dork.
Fuck off, tankie.
Bingo
Watch ford agree to terms and then just close the plants afterwards once they have setup new ones elsewhere
Automobile manufacturing plants aren't pop up apple stores

Idiots clearly have never even be to SE Michigan, let alone Detroit, and have no clue how automotive supply chains work. Just about every factory and industrial site from Flint to Toledo is producing parts that either get put into Big 3 cars directly or are used to make equipment that are then used. They have had 30 years of NAFTA to figure out how to move that complicated supply chain to Mexico with success, but are still reliant on American industrial might.
