Ford lays off 600 workers at plant targeted by UAW strike::Ford is laying off workers while the UAW is striking against Ford, GM, and Stellantis. This is getting complicated.
Making cars in the US makes no sense. The cost of living is too high. It’s much easier to make them in Mexico and ship them.
If they want their new EVs to be eligible federal tax credit, the cars need to undergo final assembly in the US. Not to mention we just went through a pandemic that showed us the weaknesses of shipping all our manufacturing to third world countries.
Oh, wow! That’ll show those rascally workers! I’m sure the strikes will conclude uneventfully now!
