Tough times require tough decisions. My plant in Detroit went thru real hard times during Carter and I know of a number of individuals who relocated to Texas.
However, that being said, the state of my plant is now in jeoparday due to the draconian measures being taken by our German owners and the inability of us procurring additonal stamping work.......
I don't even pretend to have an answer........
On second thought, I do have an answer. If the Germans come knocking on the door of your company, either shoot the bastards or tell them to take a hike. I just remembered talking to the mother of my ex-coworker on July 10 who was the secretary to the president of her company. The krauts came in, made an offer which the president helped to persuade, and once it was finalized, they asked him to leave along with my friend's mom. They then proceeded to cut the company by 1/3.........
Just as the Asians have been making their influence known in our stock markets, so are the krauts in our auto industries. Call me a wacko and tell me to put my tinfoil hat on but there is something rotten in Berlin going on..........
