yay first one to put a comment!

wtf, AMERICAN axle with a plant in MEXICO?

Thats the world we live in Dodge, American flags make in Korea and China

And as long as its not Wentzville, i love sitting on my 500lb ass collecting checks to take to the bank, Deanster and C6 i mean Cdicks.

an economist once told be he baught a Braun (pronounced “brown”) coffeemaker because it was German.
When it stopped working, he looked at the bottom, and it said “Made in China.”

Dodge, Mexico is part of America the last I checked. North America, to be exact.

mayer_ray_nagin: Don’t get me started on that topic. The best one is the statement “Best in the world” when it actually means to say “Best in the USA”. But hey, the “what rest of the world” attitude might just be one of the big contributors to the current USA economy.

This is really sad. I hate to see people in this country putout of work, whether it’s NAFTA or greedy union bosses, or whatever. There’s something wrong here, and we need to fix it NOW.

haha! I hate GM

Hmm…Mexico saves the day. Truly an ironic twist, isn’t it American Axle? For the time being this might work out OK, but GM should go ahead and purchase its parts from Dana and other manufacturers in the future, ’cause this bullsh!t has got to stop!

1c3d0g, this srtike was planned thats the only you can explain the 132 day supply and we were still working 9.5

The truth is its Business, we can whine all we want and pass protectionist laws but what good do they really do? People can have parts made in China, Mexico, Eastern Europe for pennies compared to taking it to a local machineshop which will charge 3-4 times as much as you can get the part from another country. So what will a business owner do…of course take the lowest cost dependent on the quality which might not be as good as the local machine shop which possibly buys metal from a local dealer who then also buys their materials from Mexico, China etc. You haven’t read it in the news but here in Texas we have had radiation monitors installed at our border and we have metals coming from Mexico which were exposed to small amounts of radiation somewhere triggering the monitors at the border, comforting isn’t it?

‘So America’s muscle car is engineered and developed in Australia, built in Canada, and has Italian made brakes!’

On top of that we can add penned by a Korean, tested in Germany and coming soon- parts made in Mexico!

Suck it, UAW! Your next meal will be an enchilada! That’s what you get for your unending greed…

Thank GOD for NAFTA. This is exactly the reason we need free trade–it trumps racketeering!

You’re right g4me, that enchilada will be made by a so-called college grad working at a local mexican restaurant (El tio Pepe, or El Maguay), and Payton SHAFTA is murdering our economy, try harder next time.

They oughta round up all the illegal Mexicans and sentance them to work for 1 year in an American auto plant, then deport them back to Mexico with a warning that the next time they are caught here they’ll be sentanced to 5 years of free labor.

They work damned near free anyway ‘Capp

Hola senior 400!!!! LMFAO!!!!

Have fun watching reruns of “The Price is Right” while fondling your 10 year old son in the double-wide trailer faggot!

I called this! Maybe that’ll learn ya, UAW.

BTW, about 70% of Dana’s production is now outside of the U.S. too. This is what happens when unions use extortion to get what they want.

The UAW is the worst thing that ever happened to the North American auto industry. Atleast for the domestics, the Japanese are being smart by not allowing unions to infect their North American plants. And guess what, people working at North American Japanese plants earn very good money, and have much greater job security because they don’t have to deal with the constant bull**** the UAW keeps imposing on auto workers. The domestic auto industry needs a drastic restructuring becuase its steadily going downhill, all thanks to the UAW.

I may harbor some resentment toward some of the union tactics in Canada, but I will applaud the UAW for correcting some of the strong arm tactics they have used in the past. The union was an instrumental part of bringing safety practices to standard as well as raise the standard of living in the countries most of us live today. That … the union has to be credited for (whether we like it or not).

In this global economy, the union has to reinvent itself and can’t rely on its old ways (bullying, striking, etc). Like any other entity, it has to reinvent itself to stay in the game. I think they are starting to realize this … but maybe a little slower than most of us would like.

Parts coming from Mexico / developing countries is nothing new. Guess the UAW has to rethink their approach and make some sort of concessions to settle this dispute and get America moving. GM has lost billions by this work stoppage … let’s move on and get production back up and running.

pdrive:

“the Japanese are being smart by not allowing unions to infect their North American plants. ”

It’s not up to them to allow unions. The plants are nonunion because the workers there haven’t felt aneed to organize

I dont have any kids D-bagger, stop inserting my name in your personal life stories.

American Revolution my azz!
