Breitbart.com - Ford Motor Company will make history by importing its next generation Lincoln Nautilus from China — the first time ever to do so. The move comes as backlash mounts against a planned Ford plant in Marshall, Michigan, that involves China’s premier electric vehicle battery supplier.
This month, Ford executives announced that the Lincoln Nautilus will be made in China and imported to sell to Americans in the United States. Previously, the SUV was made in Ontario, Canada before being shipped to the U.S. market for sale.
It makes the first time in Ford’s history that Lincoln will manufacture a vehicle in China and send it to the U.S. to be sold. The announcement has experts calling for President Joe Biden, and Congress, to increase U.S. tariffs on vehicles made in China.
Currently, those tariffs sit at about 25 percent. Industry experts said the Ford announcement shows higher U.S. tariffs are necessary to protect American auto workers and domestic industry from being forced to compete against subsidized, China-made vehicles.
I have some friends who have a newer Buick, nice car. They had it in the shop for a month waiting on parts, they said the car was built in China... news to me.
ReplyDeleteWhile I worked for the phone company to pay for college I was in a union, the CWA, in 3 different locals. I found that the union was corrupt. After I left college and went to work for another company I found the US labor laws help the people and they do not need unions. Unions actually help companies if the company want to use them to standardize wages and benefits, but many companies do not use unions to do that just their HR or a HR company.
