Are you caught up in the Maytag / Haier situation? If the deal goes through, as soon as Haier gets a handle on the Maytag technology and production processes, there's a high probability that they'll close down the American plants and move production to China. Unless the US decides to slap some heavy import duties on Chinese goods .......
Thankfully not ... although I do have lots of past experience with various aspects of acquisitions. (and no, I am NOT T. Boone Pickens! ... LOL! :)
