Ford isn’t moving to Mexico. There are a whopping 4 Ford plants in Mexico vs 27 in the USA. The threat to move plants out of the USA comes up every time union contracts are negotiated. Its simply not terribly cost effective to move auto manufacturing very far from where they’re sold.

Trump is on the union side of the negotiating table and threats to punish business into compliance is a far left game.

There are 3 Ford plants in Canada, does he want to punish them too or would that irritate the CAW?

"Trump is on the union side of the negotiating table and threats to punish business into compliance is a far left game."

CC, again a push to get the Reagan Democrats aka the Macomb County Dem's that voted for Reagan. No one see's it I do. FWIW, my gnomes that are close to the shop floor told me in 2009-2010, they ( the union rank and file ) had lost all respect for Obama. The question begs, did they stay home or vote for him again in 12' because they hated Romney's blue blood image.

An even bigger question is can Trump snag them as they know in their gut the country is more fubar'd than the Carter mess in 79' when the pulled the lever for Reagan....
