Foxconn Sees New Source of Cheap Labor: The United States

hackingbear writes "Foxconn is planning to build manufacturing plants in the U.S., probably in cites such as Detroit and Los Angeles. 'Since the manufacturing of Apple's products is rather complicated, the market watchers expect the rumored plants to focus on LCD TV production, which can be highly automated and easier.' Foxconn chairman Terry Guo, at a recent public event, noted that the company is planning a training program for US-based engineers, bringing them to Taiwan or China to learn the processes of product design and manufacturing."

Get rid of the unions

[hessian]

Unions are parasites that ruined American labor.

When your workforce is so unstable that you might be crushed at any moment by a strike, you hide behind layers of bureaucracy. The system turns to chaos.

Organized crime moves in with unions too.

Check out these unions in action:

With mincing steps, the non-union contractorâ"a middle-aged man in a blue short-sleeved shirtâ"tries to sneak in behind them, sidling through a narrow gap between a temporary chain-link fence and a stone wall. But the union men spot him, move toward the fence, and start to lean against it. Then we see four of them take turns pushingâ"using the fence like a microscope slide to fix the contractor against the wall. In one of the videos, you can hear the man start to cry out, his voice tremulous as heâ(TM)s crushed. Finally, he slumps to the ground.

The most troubling part, though, isnâ(TM)t the sight of the men trapping the contractor; itâ(TM)s the brief glimpse of one of the protesters grinning as the contractor wails. And the way the union guys stroll casually away from the scene when their victim collapses.

âoeItâ(TM)s standard for construction sites to have surveillance cameras,â says one of the two 30-something brothers responsible for capturing the incident on video, Michael Pestronk. âoeThe only novel thing we did, which just seemed obvious to me, was to post the videos on the Internet.â

These are the people who killed American manufacturing.

Foxconn will be doing great, and paying probably good wages, until the union parasites appear.

Then they'll move the factory again.

After all, that's why the American companies moved in the first place.
