The difference here is, NUCOR is putting the whole plant, lock stock and barrel in China. "Management" who made all those gains in productivity, all of the sudden became 'middle management' and the whole operation went offshore.

Everyone, barring the CEO and his immdediate office is headed offshore.

This isn't even a discussion about productivity. If it were, China wouldn't even be on the stage. They are extremely unproductive.

Yet, they get investments where it takes 10 to do the work of one.

Outsourcing is a way around productivity gains, which is the real work of managment. Its not increasing productivity at all.

I find that hard to believe. A brand new plant was just built in Indiana about 4 years ago.
