Anonymous Coward User ID: 34275404 United States 10/25/2015 04:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Trump for President: Ford changing it's plans to build a plant in Mexico and instead moving it to Ohio clearly shows what a "doer" like Trump can accomplish with only his words. There are no indications that Trump had any direct involvement but the argument that Trump's comments, combined with the fact that he actually does what he says, put pressure on Ford and strengthened the union's position giving us a positive result for Ohio's people and economy. Trump 2016! Before the Free Trade began, many Baby-boomers were doing quite well economically, yielding the fruits of many years of hard work and progressive increments in success. Since NAFTA was passed there has been a giant sucking sound as Ross Perot predicted and American industry and jobs have been exported from America, often the relocation of these factories paid for by the US State Department under special grants. These large American international corporations have been able to drastically lower their labor costs while charging about the same for their product in America, thus being able to make vastly increasing profits. Cheap Chinese goods (which are now rising in price by the day) kept the American public appeased and unaware of the dire economic descent that America had been set upon by these Free Trade Agreements. |

Youngstown/Ohio probably offered a huge tax incentive for them to move the plant there. If you haven't been to Youngstown, it is one of the poorest cities in Ohio - a real dump - and the labor pool there will also likely be much cheaper. |

To pay workers less for the same $$ output. Trump called them out on it but that's one down, a million more to go. |

This was in August.. here is the article and the post as well...from NBC news...it's not thousands of jobs but it IS a START!!! With barely a month to go in its contract talks, Ford Motor Co. has thrown a meaty bone to the United Autoworkers Union. And it may also take Ford out of the presidential debate, where it recently became a target of Republican front-runner Donald Trump. Negotiations got off to a slightly testy start last month following news that the second-largest domestic automaker would likely move production of several key small car lines from Michigan to Mexico. But this week, Ford began production of heavy-duty versions of its F-Series pickups, which previously were built in Mexico, at a plant in Ohio: a move that will "secure" more than 1,000 union jobs. "Our investment in Ohio Assembly Plant reinforces our commitment to building vehicles in America," said Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas. "Working with our partners in the UAW, we found a way to make the costs competitive enough to bring production of a whole new generation of work trucks to Ohio."

Opened in 1974, Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant currently employs nearly 1,400 people and is one of the largest employers in Lorain County. In addition to now producing all Ford F-650 and F-750 models and configurations, the plant also produces the Ford E-Series cutaway vans and stripped chassis.

Either mentally unstable or paid shills. Flip a coin. |
