New Ford Plant

[outnumbered]

Someone sent this to me today, and thought some of you would find it interesting:

This is VERY interesting .. It is a short video of a new Ford plant in Brazil.

One look at this and you will be able to tell why there will probably never be another assembly plant built in the USA. It will also point out why more assembly plants will go offshore.
Do not be scared into thinking that Ford, GM, and Chrysler are going to go under. They will survive, but their assembly operations in the US likely won't -- whether we provide a bailout or not.

And keep in mind that a huge percentage of the cars sold in the USA are made in the USA today -- not just by Ford, GM, and Chrysler -- but by Toyota, Honda, and many of the rest. They are built by American workers and they are being profitable. Why, you must ask? Because they are non-union operations and do not have the UAW hanging around their necks like large ship anchors.

Watch the video.

That is interesting. It's neat how they have their vendors working under the same roof assembling the sub assemblies and sending them down the conveyor to mate up with the bodies. And they have their own port. Smart move.

But like it was said in the video, the UAW would never allow it. Unless every worker made close to $100,000.00 a year.
