workers informed they are losing their jobs to mexico on video

Well, they did get one years notice. The rug is being gently pulled, and not yanked out from under them. A year is plenty of time to look into other options, and to plan a clean assassination attempt at the CEO.
Riot and you get what you want, haven't Obama taught them anything. Riot and a government official will be there giving the company tax breaks to get them to stay.
 
Name me just one american corporation that its doing illegal pollution on a FTA nation.

How about you show me that all of our trade partners (you brought up this FTA and non-FTA nonsense) operate under the same regulations? They obviously don't so I don't know what you make it sound like everyone is operating on the same platform. I don't care if it is legal according to whatever trade agreement. Whether something is legal is entirely different from it being the same.

Same environmental regulations?

Bullpudding. If Americans were willing to do the work of illegals, for less money, there would be no unemployment problem in this country. But, sadly, American exceptionalism is dead. Thanks, liberalism.


Why should Americans work for shitty wages.

What time in the last 100 years did Americans work for slave wages.

1.- You are the one making the claims that companies are outsourced because of strict US enviromental regulation, the onus is on you


2.- I didnt brought the FTA issue you did.

So much so, people are brainwashed into believing that the EPA, the minimum wage, unions, maternal leave, health insurance requirements are job killers. Free trade is only free when everyone is competing under the same rules.

4.- I said specifically corporations, not the country in general, Mexico city isnt even known for foreign companies setting shop there.

5.- The pollution on Valley of Mexico has little to do with regulations and more to do with its geography and overcrowding.

Why not instead compare it to the cities that actually manufacture for the US like Tijuana, Ciudad Juarez or Monterrey.

Again, capitalism is a flawed system when it comes to spreading the wealth, its a good system to produce things. Asking capitalism to bring general welfare is a joke, its like asking a soldier to bring world peace.

The flaws come from politicians, who are unable, or unwilling to spread the wealth generated by increased american efficiency and commerce.

The fact that the dollar is rising against ALL currencies in the world means that America is winning the international trade and services game.
 
lol what? I'm not sure if you're joking or serious here. Either way I'll pass on working for pennies.

The fact that you can't clearly identify the sarcastic nature of my post is evidence of just how loony tunes the republican and libertarian job creator fellators have become in this country.
 
Like most things, nobody cares unless it impacts their life's. Moving factories out of the country has been going on for decades, but it hasn't been an issue because people want cheap crap and don't care if the next guy loses his job.

It's like the growing trend of robotic job replacement. I know plenty of friends/families who laugh at the idea of fast food workers losing their jobs, while at the same time holding a job that in a decade probably won't be there.

1. Inspection and enforcement of environmental regulation is weak and the support agencies are chronically underfunded.

NAFTA labor and environment provision were negoiated to provide political cover for Democrats and were never funded at a level to effectively deal with labor and enviromental problems.

2. "Free trade is only free when everyone is competing under the same rules.". None of our trade partners operate under the same guidelines like with the example above. Meeting any trade agreement is completely different from operating under the same regulations.

4 and 5. See my answer to 1. Any country with a major city like Mexico City is not operating under similar regulation. The mexican government can't even control parts of their country. I am doubting that the cartels care about regulation. Any other region that is better has just not reached the point of becoming a steaming hot mess, yet.

United Technologies (Carrier is the HVAC arm of it) posted profits of $7.6 billion

" The past few years have been very good for United Technologies. The contractor does billions of dollars a year in business with the federal government. CEO Gregory Hayes pulled down nearly $10 million in 2014, and over $20 million the year before. On Thursday, the company reported $7.6 billion in profits, up from $6.2 billion the year before, and $5.7 billion the year before that. "

-
So CEO Hayes pulled $20 million in 2013 and $10 million in 2014 so looks like he is miffed at the halving of his salary so thinks he can boost it back up if he moves production.

So beautiful :D

I said that in regards to people making it seem there was a time in America where peopleLOVED working for low wages.
 
Why he had a clothing line outsourced to China.

Trump won't create anything here in the way of jobs.

I think this is common knowledge.
Why shouldn't he have outsourced to China? There wasn't a tariff in place that would make it a bad business move

Well when u talk about the importance of Americans and American jobs and stress how you're going to create jobs here in the states but start a clothing line and outsource it to China shows a major contradiction.
He said this on letterman and was called out in it by Dave and Trump was a deer in headlights. Dave rammed it up his ass on national tv
 
If they weren't in a union, their situation would be 10 times worse.
At least they are fortunate enough to bypass the mind numbing painstakingly human resource filtering process.

We need more unions.

If they weren't unionized they may still be employed.

Explain to me how thier position would be 10 times worse.

Your answer to number 1 is from 1993. Its not even worth looking at considering how much enviromenal regulation has advanced in the country.

Your sheer ignorance about how a country like Mexico operates is staggering to a point where its not even worth discussing.

Yes, a lot of industries and business in Mexico are extremely lax and fly under the radar but these, i assure you are not exporting anything at all. they are local industries not worth the effort to regulate in poor states.
