Why is any sane multi-national with stockholders continuing operations in this country?
I wonder if GM will still pay the workers’ wages?
RE: Why is any sane multi-national with stockholders continuing operations in this country?
GM has been in that country for DECADES.
What should the CEO have done when Chavez took over? Close it? It survived 10 years of Chavez and several years of Maduro, this was unexpected.
This should be a wake up call to other foreign companies to PLAN for anything similar.
Ahhhh, the irony of it. Government Motors is seized by the government and GM is outraged...
RE: I wonder if GM will still pay the workers wages?
If Venezuela seized ( as in take hold of suddenly and forcibly), then I assume the government owns it now. THEY pay the workers ( if they have the money ).
This is just another phase in the country’s death spiral. This will not go on indefinitely.
You only have what you can defend.
What’s survival? Not being taken over by the government?
They did it to the oil companies, they did it to the food producers, they did it to the grocers.
They couldn’t order parts, they had no market. Why would they stay?
Is it something now that companies should just survive?
This is the equal of the left thinking companies exist to provide health care for their workers.
Venezuela....where the UAW is the government.
Given how things have gone in Venezuela the past five years I don’t think this was unexpected. Or at least, it should not have been.
Congress needs to immediately place a trade embargo on Venezuela for the exact same reason that there’s a trade embargo on Cuba. They stole American property and that should be intolerable.
Bingo!!
“You know damn well what I came here for!” he snapped. “I’ve heard some incredible things about our trains in Mexico.”
“What things?”
“What sort of rolling stock are you using down there?”
“The worst I could find.”
“You admit that?”
“I’ve stated it on paper in the reports I sent you.”
“Is it true that you’re using wood-burning locomotives?”
“Eddie found them for me in somebody’s abandoned roundhouse down in Louisiana. He couldn’t even learn the name of the railroad.”
“And that’s what you’re running as Taggart trains?”
“Yes.”
“What in hell’s the big idea? What’s going on? I want to know what’s going on!”
She spoke evenly, looking straight at him. “If you want to know, I have left nothing but junk on the San Sebastian Line, and as little of that as possible. I have moved everything that could be moved switch engines, shop tools, even typewriters and mirrors out of Mexico.”
“Why in blazes?”
“So that the looters won’t have too much to loot when they nationalize the line.”
Why isn’t Trump arming and training rebels yet?
,,,,,, another factory mus come home ,,,,, more winning !
No simpatico here.
But what is Venezuela going to do with it?....................
It will continue as long as Cubans run the police and military force...
