another U.S. company packs their bags and heads south !

it boggles my mind as to just how stupid the people that run this country are

 

perhaps the people that elect them are even more stupid ??

 

thats code for cheap labor and no benefits or retirement........bet the product price doesn't go down because of their new found "efficiencies"

 

that would be true too

of course i see folks everyday that couldnt outsmart the rocks in my driveway

 

"According to the company, the Iola Haldex facility employs 160 people. The City of Iola website proclaims Haldex as one of the city's largest employers." This has nothing to do with the government this was just a small plant in a small town that couldn't meet production quotas now that the economy is picking up the plant in mexico is bigger and can do what this plant coulndnt do cheaper and faster.

 

right and the gov made the cheaper in mexico cheaper

 

I don't know if I would say the government had nothing to do with it. Cheap labor and tax incentives is what drove this company to put a plant in Iola in the first place. Now they are just moving on to a location with cheaper labor and even less taxes and or government rules from agencies like OSHA, EPA, Building enforcement codes, etc, etc.
