General Motors (GM) executives announced this week that two of their vehicles will be produced in South Korea as American workers in Lordstown, Ohio are left jobless after their GM plant closure and other Americans’ jobs at the corporation hang in the balance.
At the end of last year, GM CEO Mary Barra announced that the corporation would soon lay off 14,700 workers in the United States and Canada. Meanwhile, the corporation’s production in China and Mexico have remained unaffected, much like Barra’s continued annual salary of $22 million.
While the Lordstown, Ohio Assembly Plant has already been idled by GM, also slated to close this year are GM’s Detroit-Hamtramck and Warren Transmission plants in Michigan and the Baltimore Operations plant in Maryland.

Simple math.
it is cheaper to make the cars in South Korea and ship them back to the US to sell to the stupid American population.
Plus the South Korean people work harder than most Americans
If gm wants to build cars in lower wage paying countries such as South Korea, Mexico, and China, tariff the hell out out of the cars being imported to the U.S.
Maybe mary barra's $22 million annual salary, not including bonuses, should be exported too. All the anti-union readers that think the assembly line workers are paid too much, think about that $22 million paid to the ceo, just one employee, then add to that the multi-million dollar salaries for hundreds of her non-union subordinate executives employed throughout our country. Like it or not, a lot of blame for the high cost of cars has just been explained to you
