This is a Joke! how many companies are going to outsource more and more work! This is just another way to save a buck! I laugh when you hear someone talking about not buying a foreign car and buying an american car. Support america and buy american made products! Which I believe in (if its true. that is your buying american!) When truly your only buying a car that is assembled here in the usa and stamped with a "made in the usa." its sad! I used to work in an injection molding factory. We made all kinds of parts: master cylinder tanks, computer boards, dish washer valves, clothes washer valves, welding rod boxes, tazer gun housings... All american made companies. We went from three well oiled/ running shifts (24h/7d/356d.y.) down too 1.5/2 shifts with a skeleton crew and as needed when orders came in (we turned into the demand factory. so that when the overseas companies got backed up... we got the overflow to help catch them back up). And its not because of the ecomony. it all had to do with the bottom line and cutting cost. Which makes me laugh that it was cheaper to: copy our process, make new molds, buy new machines, send our plant personel out of country (to train the nfg's), make a new shop, hire new employee's (with no rights or bennies), manufacture the new parts, and then box and ship thoses parts over seas back to the usa. which resulted in loss of jobs. and another small notch in the fall of america. And this was not a shop that you hear of guys sweeping the floor making $100,000 a year... this was a small factory. The auto industry should be looked at as an ecosystem. In such that if all the small mosquito (small factories) die off, then the what evers sitting at the top of the food chain will not survive! and thats what happening here in the usa! So what do we do our federal goverment bails them out! and they still outsource jobs!
yiks!
