After lobbying for US Taxpayer funding for EV infrastructure; GM builds EV plant in Mexico

GM to invest $1 bln in Mexico to build electric vehicles
FoxBusiness
MEXICO CITY - General Motors Co said on Thursday it will invest $1 billion in a manufacturing complex in Mexico, drawing immediate criticism from the union for U.S. autoworkers as it prepares to build electric vehicles in 2023 in the border state of Coahuila.
GM said it is building a new high-tech paint shop that will start operations from June at the Ramos Arizpe site, which currently assembles conventional internal-combustion vehicles, including the Chevrolet Equinox and Blazer models, along with engines and transmissions.
The United Auto Workers criticized GM's decision to build EVs in Mexico instead of using the union's members in the United States when Washington is considering large new incentives for electric vehicles.
"At a time when General Motors is asking for a significant investment by the U.S. government in subsidizing electric vehicles, this is a slap in the face for not only UAW members and their families but also for U.S. taxpayers and the American workforce," said UAW Vice President Terry Dittes in a statement, calling it "unseemly" to accept U.S. government subsidies and make vehicles outside the United States.

Better than China, which is where GM wants to build everything. They should just move their HQ there.

This kind of shite is why I encourage people to buy Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, VW, and Hyundai/Kia products - especially if you live in the south.
Not only are those companies building great cars these days, but they are doing it in factories in the southern US. All while GM and Ford are outsourcing everything to Mexico and China.

The UAW can suck it. The best friend they ever had was Trump. The damn unions are as twisted and corrupt as any group in Washington.

Detroit – The UAW International Board Tuesday announced the influential unions’ endorsement of former Vice President Joe Biden for President of the United States.

“In these dangerous and difficult times, the country needs a president who will demonstrate clear, stable leadership, less partisan acrimony and more balance to the rights and protections of working Americans,” said Rory Gamble, President of the UAW. “UAW Members need a federal government that ensures that members have both a good job to go to, and that they come home to their families at night having earned a fair day’s wage in a safe and secure place.”

I hate to see this move into Mexico, but this is mostly because of the Union idiots
