Show me info where Mexican workers make 12 to 15 an hour lmao..maybe management. The average manufacturing employee in Mexico pays 2.50 hr.
Sorry to burst your bubble but the workers in large companies in Mexico earn about 12 to 15/hr. Employees get a lot of their benefits from the Mexican government. That is were US companies get the most cost benefits. However with the soon to be open border policy of the US, many jobs will come back but only to lower price non-union shops. GE's old transportation (now Wabtec) did that by shifting jobs to non-union southern plants. Ask people about that from Erie. When things get back to normal union needs to be strong to identify this and act in solidarity.
I don't predict any closures only further reductions in personnel. Transfer of workload and product among different sites already happening or in the works.
Not enough people are flying. The numbers are still 30 - 40 percent from what they were last year. Further Covid-19 shut downs and restrictions looming in several states.

Airlines are planning further layoffs. Even they are not optimistic.

No passengers. No revenue. No money for new jets. No engines. Fewer spares. Equals layoffs. The equation is simple.
This is the part where they cut American jobs and send work to Mexico for $3 hour so your prob right with a plant closing coming.
