Singer and Maytag giving jobs in Africa
Singer and Maytag giving jobs in Africa
Maytag has started factories to make old fashioned tub washers with ring dryers on them while Singer has started a factory to make old times sewing machines that use only pedels and a wheel. No electricity needed with those sewing machines.
A little nonsense now and then is cherished by the wisest of decepticons.

They probably are - the money saved by this route will help both companies stay viable, thus meaning the people they currently employ in Canada (always thought Singer and Maytag were American, but there we go, they seem to be part of your economy...) are unlikely to be unexpectedly laid off if the companies fold.rattrap23 wrote:I think we should worry about our own economy before we go into another continent.
Excuse me, can you explain again to me how laying off people in North America (because our economies fundamentally rely on each other) and giving the jobs to countries where they don’t have to pay their workers as much is good for the economy?Cliffjumper wrote:They probably are - the money saved by this route will help both companies stay viable, thus meaning the people they currently employ in Canada ..... are unlikely to be unexpectedly laid off if the companies fold.
Its obviously corporate greed. Companies can cleanly produce their widgets in North America pay their workers a fair wage and still make a profit, but they move the factories to countries where there aren’t things like minimum wage and environmental emissions standards.
PS: Their used to be a Maytag factory in Hamilton but they closed it down.

I’d appreciate if you would elaborate.

Looks like we need a Special Version. The companies are thinking of the economy - they're thinking of saving on labour cost (that's the money spent on the people working, or as you might call it, labouring) in their factories. If they save on that, there's less chance the companies will go completely bankrupt (that's when they run out of money and stop being companies).
Quite why the companies need to penalise themselves in the current climate in order to aid the Canadian economy (there's a Honda dealership about 500 yards from my house... yet Honda are still Japanese... Sheba Syndrome?) is beyond me also.

Actually Canada is so old and backwater, they are going to sell it there. That country is a hole above the good Ol' USA. If someone would just nuke Canada everyone would happier. That's something we can all agree on.Sir Auros wrote:Not to mention the initial post stated that they're producing oldschool equipment that is going to be sold in Africa, not shipped to North America. This isn't outsourcing.
