This factory never stops. It works 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Produces 260k vehicles per year until 2008 when the plant grows to 500k vehicles a year.
This factory saves Ford Brazil to bankrupcy. The ford got an bad image of expensive maintenance parts, low fuel eficiency, no ethanol models and the tag of "women's car".
Now the company is running to recover the share lost for japaneses, koreans and franch automakers.
you don't need to be hard on the unions if you let the plant go to the wall. That sorts out the unions once and for all. We had this in Britain with British Leyland, limping along for years with crap management and even worse unions, all at the taxpayers expense, in the end when forced to compete in the real world they collapsed. They just couldn't do it, they improved but could never get to the level of the Japanese plants in this country.
My employee's wife used to work at the chicago assembly plant driving a fork truck..she was making over $60K/yr. with incredible benefits. And we wonder why the american car makers can't compete! How are the big 3 supposed to make money building cheap, fuel efficient, lower profit margin cars in the U.S.? The auto industry in this country is over as we know it. Even if they get bailed out, they will be tiny compared to their boom days. Viva Brasil!
@indiasucksalways What a retarded statement. No, communism is communal, local, while free trade is free, global.

You don't need laws just a free market.
