People you have to realize that we need big American jobs like the Chrysler Plant. Those people that work there are mostly the middle class. But now that those people will get paid less in other jobs. They wont be spending as much and then you have the domino effect with businesses around that area and the suppliers for that business. Then the businesses that supply Chrysler with the parts are going to be effected and so on and so forth.
All those jobs lost, so Chrysler can make more money in Mexico.
Its sad that people dont realize that we as Americans need to buy American made stuff so that money goes to American familys working American jobs.
Support our nation by saving American jobs.
All union people are not lazy I worked my ass off for these people for 10 years.You sound like the typical jealous prick with a shity no where dead end job.Pea brains such as yourself can't comprehend good paying jobs like this leaving makes it harder on everybody in the state.After this company left so did many other suppliers and local jobs depending on the employees money being spent in the community.You sir are a fucking retard!

Wah! I guess the UAW was not all powerful. If I were a UAW member, I'd be demanding my thousands of dollars back from the union bosses. Your money was already wasted on political elections and BS like OWS. Maybe the UAW should open a business making something to sell. No one would buy it because of the low quality and high cost. The only way it would work would be if the government subsidized it. Oops, that did happen with GM. I drive a Toyota made in the USA... Cry me a river...

Does no one remember what Presidential candidate Ross Periot said in 1992? That if NAFTA (North American Free Trade Act) is passed "all you will hear is a giant sucking sound " which meant that all manufacturing jobs would eventually leave the US. No one listened and most jobs are now gone! US government and greedy corporations are to blame.

Our Government is not protecting American companies and workers. We have a federal minimum wage law to protect us from barbaric slave labor practices.
Not so outside our borders.
Our government is allowing these companies to move out, and ship their stuff back over here putting our American companies out of business, and completely destroying the chance for an American entrepreneur to start a company here. Resulting in NO American companies. And American companies = NO American jobs.

Mexico buys American goods more than any other country except Canada. Over one million new cars are bought by Mexicans every year.
Mexico is America's 3rd largest trading partner.

The news only wants to say what they want to say. The Saltillo Mexico plant has already been open for years at the time the Fenton plant closed. Personally, I have had two Fenton plant assembled pickups, and they suck. Workmanship was just not there. My 2010 Warren assembled truck is great. The Saltillo plant is only making the heavy duty rams and single cab 1500's. If Mexico truly now have jobs that were in Missouri, there's reasons for that. Fenton had their chance.
