The handwriting is on the wall, and The Donald has not even assumed office yet.
There is a LOT of realignment going on in thinking right now.
Actually, the whole plant was not going to be relocated, as the Louisville Plant is still going to be in Kentucky (but NOT in Detroit). But the shift of production to Mexico is off the board right now.
Mexico does have organized auto workers unions, but they are MUCH weaker, comparatively, than the US auto workers unions. Their wage, benefit and retirement demands are all MUCH less than those that had successfully been negotiated by their US counterparts in the past, which have had a large, disproportionate even, effect on the bankruptcy and bailout of both GM and Chrysler. Ford did not participate in the bailout, but they were in a stronger position than GM or Chrysler, and did not even approach the dire straits of either of their competitors.
Lol. Your Spot on.
