General Motors Co. will build its second-coming of the Chevrolet Blazer in Mexico, and the United Auto Workers is not happy about it.

“This news that the iconic Blazer nameplate will be built in Mexico is disappointing to UAW families and communities across this country," Dittes said. "GM employs over 15,000 production workers in Mexico, pays the workers less than $3 per hour and exports over 80 percent of the vehicles to the U.S. to sell here. This is all happening while UAW-GM workers here in the U.S are laid off and unemployed

The fact that the American tax payers forked over the bill to keep their shitty company alive. You would think they would be a little more loyal to the American people.

Bamarep books it. Not a single blazer gets built in Mexico.

General Motors #1 market is China/Asia. The company paid back all debts to the Government. The UAW is everything wrong with unions. If you believe they are the only OEM doing this you are slow.

Well the UAW should tell it’s members to vote for Trump because the Democrat nominee won’t give a shite about the Chevy blazer being built in Mexico. In fact, the democrat will probably applaud it.

Real story here is that they're bringing back the Chevy blazer.

This is why wise consumers buy American-made cars like Kias, Hyundais, and Volkswagens and not Mexican cars like General Motors.

It's really weird to imagine that you posted that while giggling at the same time. I wonder if this is what a conservative comedian's jokes would look like if they actually had any good comedians.

Hmmm....so the extortionists...ahem...labor unions can't believe that a company would rather build their product where labor doesn't double the cost of a vehicle?

Color me shocked.

Move the plants to right-to-work states and there would be no need to go to Mexico.

I love American Made where it makes sense, but am conflicted on this one from the standpoint of the unions, which I see little to no need for in the modern world. Unions drive these greedy companies to make these decisions. They are logically going where the labor is cheapest. Unions are flat out against cheap labor.

Keep imagining; I don't giggle ever.

I'd much rather have a below average conservative comedian than the SJW/libtwats that think they're comedians.
