Unions get a nasty lesson with Biden – Ford moves to Mexico

One wonders how much longer it will take for the unions get the hang of it that globalism comes first before their jobs. The good news is that their pensions have been bailed out with billions coming their way. For the regular guy still toiling in the fields the jobs of the day will sail off abroad as previously before Trump put the hammer down.

Manufacturing of the vehicle had originally been slated to occur at an Ohio Ford plant. But in a letter to employees, the plant’s manager reportedly said “conditions have changed since the last UAW contract was negotiated,” according to the Journal.
