Loading ...Your plant was perhaps one in a few. Most manufactures are for their bottom line with a huge wage discrepancy between the producers and the boards. Especially if they are in the stock market. Then the people no longer matter. They take the wages and conditions they give them or else they move to China? Did they have heathcare or vacation pay. Did their wages keep up with REAL inflation? I heard in France it is mandatory workers get 5 weeks off a year. Does China do that? I doubt it. Besides taxes free heathcare would take a big burden off job makers. Lower taxes and free heathcare ” to citizens only like everywhere else” would help. Also how many factories and construction companies even hotels hired illegals over citizens?
Most of this is not because they can’t get the help. It’s because they can’t get the help for the wages they want to pay vs real costs. A lot of that goes back to the gov bringing these cost up. The time being able to live on minimum wage are over. We can thank Wall Street for a big part of that. The boards and their bottom line. If a company is not expanding or increasing profits Wall Street dumps them over another that is even if they pay dividends. So how do they do that? Increasing costs of these products or moving to CHINA. People can say it’s not wall streets Fault it’s Gov. BS it’s both. Then both can pass the buck to each other.
Now it cost 500 bucks for a phone. I remember buying a 57 Chevy in excellent condition for 500 buck as a teen on my minimum wage job. Then they talk about if they didn’t outsource it would bring cost up. BS
There outsourcing to make the most money they can so their not going to discount prices. In fact since we lost local competition it’s driven prices up compliments of Wall Street and gov. In Spain one region has it so of a country outsources they can start up the same company there and then tell the people they outsource so who are you going to buy from? Also they had a option if the lost their job instead of getting unemployment they can get a lump some of a few years of unemployment group together and start their own company. Also they have equal say on boards so not likely to outsource in the first place.
If a business it’s hirtimg they can lower wages by a small percent to everyone including the owners instead of laying off or others can absorb the people. We have a inane system that not only outsources they let others in to take their jobs. No job security at all.
