Whereabouts should we purchase land in Mexico? Needs to be near the new factories that'll go in next year.
- supertrope 3y agoCompanies and individuals do not make decisions based on posturing or their pet peeves. If a company has not outsourced a plant already for cost savings there are reasons for still keeping that operation in the US.

- bagels 3y agoIf labor costs go up 40%, but only in the US factories, I don't see how that doesn't lead to more parts & assembly in Mexico, Canada, China, etc.
- supertrope 3y agoThe corporate counter-offer is 20%. Clearly they’re fine still employing a US workforce with double digit employment cost inflation - over four years.
- cplusplusfellow 3y agoIt's beyond wishful thinking to assume that 46% increase will not motivate Ford to seek cost savings by moving factories offshore. The motivation:action tuple in this regard has been established for decades.
