    Relocated to where? You know they would have to build a new factory and train new employees, right? Who’s going to make all the cars until then?

      General Motors currently operates 4 production facilities in Mexico, as does Ford.

      Stellantis has 7.

      You’re right, it’ll take some time to shift completely, but this sort of push by the union is the kind of catalyst that can light a fire under execs to get it done.

      What’s cheaper, what the union is asking for or the cost of moving production? When those lines cross on the graph, the union is fucked.

        So somehow they’ll be able to ramp up production in those plants to match or even come near the output of American plants in addition to what they already make?

        Why aren’t they already doing that?
