Another reason the UAW pizzes me off. I was once a UAW member in the late sixties through the early 70's before & after my military service. Even back around 1972 some of the old timers I worked with were making comments like "This union ain't what it used to be". I know a lot of their own members don't approve of the way it's run and I can't understand some of the stuff they do and some of the people they endorse. It's not just the UAW either; a lot of our unions seem to be run by commie socialists. WTF?

Why would they be mad? Almost all of GM's stuff has. even made in Mexico for a long time.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

I don't know how much GM stuff is made in Mexico. I know Chrysler makes stuff there. Wife had a 2015 Dodge Journey that was made in Mexico. How much GM stuff is assembled down there?

Again, what part of Nationalist Socialist German Workers Party (Nazi) doesnt ring any phugging bells for the average Union azzhat? Its okay though, you have the full support of the media, the government and will be fully funded by the party, er taxpayer.

The government imposes regulations and taxes that make it more costly or prohibitive to manufacture, produce or create things in this country. The unions protect non-productive workers and make it even more cost prohibitive to do business in this country. Then they both blame industry for moving out of the country while the consumers want inexpensive stuff. Cant have it both ways.

I was building a plant in Mexico in 2016 (served Mexican market, we have many plants domestically and all over Europe as well). Drove by the GM plant in Guanajato/Silao (not sure which city it technically was). GM 1/2 ton trucks as far as you could see. Had to be 1000s of them. Being loaded on rail cars.
What I’m saying isn’t really a surprise, we all know it. Just different when you see it.
I think the Average wage around there was $3/hour or so and they were happy to get it.

Some time back I had a video tape that showed a bunch of the factories in mexico and a lot of the stuff they made that American companies couldn't get made here because of what it costs here to build things. I remember one thing the mexicans were building was wiring harnesses for the then current American air force fighter jets
Many of the factories had a complete city of sorts with housing and all the facilities for the workers. Medical, schools, stores, the whole works . Might have had burial services too. I don't remember
