I thought that Trump said that these jobs will be moving back to the USA.
Mostly from Mexico.
Of course, that just means your GM jobs are going on a bit of a tour...
Probably like the inside of your head.
That was my head after I touched my first naked boobies. I can remember it like it happened yesterday, she was an older woman, an educator who asked me to stay after class of course I did who wouldn't? Ah good times.
You folks still in love with NAFTA now that it's moving Canadian jobs to Mexico?
Yes, because NAFTA still creates lots of good jobs and economic growth, for all three countries.
Mexico may be getting some low skilled manufacturing jobs (if they're not being eliminated via automation), but if they go there instead of China, we'll still keep some related jobs, like part manufacturing and so on.

Mexico has auto manufacturers knocking down their door to build production facilities and that's not going to China anytime soon because the cost of shipping from China can't be justified, for now. It's a scary thought when your vehicle domestic or import could one day be built in China.
I can't get the article to come up. Where is the strike?
I can post a link, successfully.

What's scary about buying cars from the same people who put melamine in baby formula?
Mexico also trumps the U.S. on free trade. It has agreements with 45 countries, meaning low tariffs for exporting globally. That, along with low labour costs, convinced Audi to build an SUV factory in the state of Puebla. The German automaker will save $6,000 per vehicle in tariffs when it ships a Q5 to Europe, compared with building the same vehicle in the U.S., says Sean McAlinden, chief economist at CAR.
Audi also sells the Q5 in the U.S., where tariffs on cars built in Mexico were dropped under the North American Free Trade Agreement.
The cost savings also should allow automakers to add expensive fuel-saving features to meet stricter U.S. government gas mileage requirements without raising car prices. Two-thirds of cars made in Mexico are shipped to the U.S.

So how the hell do we compete with that? What people forget is that despite the commercials about mom, apple pie and the American way these companies are in the business for nothing but big profit and if you could build an auto factory on mars to make vehicles cheaper they'd be there now.
But on the plus side, I'm getting excited about buying my first $2,500 TATA Nano so I don't have to put up with any of those pesky addon's like............. safety features.
Years back I got into the Kei car craze. One thing I learned is that if the Japanese had shipped those tinny pieces of shit here in the beginning, we'd be driving Pinto IIs and Vegas still. At the time I asked an East Indian friend why no one bought in ones from India. He came back from a trip and told me they were even shittier than the JDM ones, and had goddam 18HP engines instead of 45HP... said he'd make more selling the container and the cars in it for scrap
Can't think of any Free Trade arrangement that they wouldn't screw us with if Labour wages and practices aren't written into it.
