Here in the USA more and more companies are moving to Mexico or to China. They say if they don't have a company in third world contry then they are kicked out of the bidding for job's. OK I'm not getting that. but Then I'm a printer. Not a big boss. That has been told what I can bid on and what I can't by some other goverment or what ever new law they have for bidding on jobs now. We are loosing are jobs here right and left. Soon we will be the third world countrie. I'm lost as what we can do.So what can we do as employies? to keep are jobs here? Help if you can. Thank you for reading.

Actually just yesterday I heard that many of the companies are moving back from Mexico. The work force down there is not as reliable as it is in their own country. Once they are given a pay check they disappear for a couple of days and don't return to work! So there is hope!

Well, all's I know is that Whirlpool is still there and they seem to be forcing other's to move from here to Mexico. Whirlpool owns Maytag. And if you want to own something not made here at all LG products are not made here at all. Just sold here. I hope there will be hope for us but I'm not to sure on that. But thank you. Have a nice Day. Your friend Onlydia

Interesting to hear, started happening here in the UK a year or two ago with big companies (like banks too) moving their call centers to India!
I don't know what you could do as employees but if you have a pansion scheme in the company, have a solicitor or financial advisor go over it, look into redundancy pay and what compensation you'd be entitled to if they were to let you go..
I do not understand what you are bidding for I'm afraid...

I called to talk to someone about my home moragage and someone from India answed the phone. I'm ask where are you trying to place accent. Oversea's I just laughed and asked if I could talk to someone in USA. As that is where they were going to send anyway. Credit cards as well, My job wont go to Mexico jet the easy one's are as they put it. Put they will find out there not so easy. I can't do most of them. LOL. I can run a press and make it all look good. Print faceplates for Dishwasher's and washers and driers. that is what I do.

I don't know if we can. Many American companies are being bought by international corporations, and they don't care about American workers, they're going to go where the labor is cheapest. I lost my own job in a company that was once American owned which eventually landed in British hands. I really don't know what the answer is, but I agree we are turning into a third world country. I believe that is one of the signs of the End Times, also, so we'd just better be ready for it....

Yes I agree and there is not much we can do. I tried at my job. Told them I would take a pay cut evan to keep someone's job here. No go. As one I can do nothing and no one else will agree to take a paycut. At least not yet. Working on it. thank you take care.
