Give the things the current administration is doing, I can’t say I blame companies for sending jobs out of the U.S.

I got a call this morning from two local companies for rates to move oversized machinery to Mexico.
Maybe they’re just replacing the equipment?

I’m sure the socialist unions had NOTHING to do with these companies relocating overseas.

I’m sure that the AFL-CIO will organize their members in the “green industries,” providing fair wages to the workers picking up trash with pointy sticks.

We sell to the manufacturing industry (Chemical, food, pharmaceutical) and I can tell you A LOT is headed towards Mexico. Costs less and the biggest thing...no GOOFY freaking regulations. Damn Communist libtards you’re ruining this country!

I went ahead and plugged in my zip code (central Indiana) with a search for a 100 mile radius. Only 22 companies “guilty” of exporting jobs. Virtually all in manufacturing. You’ve got to wonder when people are going to realize there’s a real problem here, and maybe, just maybe, realize everyone is going to have to do something about it.

Did you know that 57 million workers would join a union if they could? Protect a workers? right to choose. Support the Employee Free Choice Act.

A website for union goobers who enjoy skimming their fairy tale statistics.

Credibility = 0

Showing that NAFTA is a lie and a farce.

Mexico has no regulations? It also has no law and no order. There are 1000 dead this year in Juarez alone, and the companies "fleeing" there will soon find out who the real masters are in Mexico. And they will either pay them or be dead.

Mexico is a nightmare on Earth, and it's attitudes and people are killing America.

It would be better for all of civilization if we simply made it cease to exist, before it destroys us. Barring that rather simplistic solution, walls of concrete and laws will have to do. The sooner the better.

Yeah. It’s AFL-CIO, so they’d support FOCA. However, the ease of pluggung in info & seeing manufacturering companies leaving is valuable. Is there a conservative site doing this?

I’m just telling you...whether companies are moving there or tolling in Mexico (S.A. as well), business is going there.

How are they compiling their data?

Who is validating their claims?

They are a criminal enterprise. How does a company make their list of "job exporters"? How much does a company have to pay union "officials" to buy their way off the list?

This is like turning to the mafia for their list of validated honest politicians.

Companies are just going to have to find out the hard way the long-term costs of doing business in Mexico, I guess.

Short-term, it looks smart. Long-term, not so much.

Yep. Remember when the UAW had about eight strikes, then when the gas went sky high... had another one. I remember when the unions pretended to love and work for this country with pride, until the veil slipped off.

Should be sent to the environazis and their (not really our), representatives (we know how the game works).

Yet they want it ‘more’ green to de-industrialize this country and destroy it. Between the greens and the union heads...

Look at the bright side... look how much we pay for their illegals (and what it does to the job market). We even shut down our southwestern hospitals, hire extra law enforcement, distract our ICE from finding Islamists, birth their children, give them meds, schooling in their language, press #1, let them gangbang, molest, DUI, rob repeatedly and walk... it’s a good life.

P.S. Guess what Obama’s doing next? You guessed it. Let’s see... we’re broke, losing jobs, socialized/rationed healthcare, failing schools, more violence...
can’t wait till the grandfathered in get here (nevermind the OTMs coming across as well). Oh wait, we should be outta jobs by then. Nevermind. We go the way of Rome. Amero here we come.

Whatever happened with the fence money and that failed ID check program?

Yer right!

Maybe I should get a copy of the book "How I Learned to Luv the Invasion" and just relax.... :^)

Anyway it won't be long now. California is broke in ways they haven't even admitted, and the party is about to end...rather abruptly.

What happens next is anybody's guess, but it ain't gonna be pretty. But, it may be therapeutic.

Some of the info on their site is 10 years old.
