BOEING Announces Big Layoffs In Cutback to Below 2010 Levels...

There are going to be lots of idiots like that, sulking like children because their Republican lost the election..

What should be done is a list of companies that do revenge firings like that and a boycott of their services, goods, or products.. the ultimate revenge, they can become one of the 47%. LOL

Personally, I am moving my servers out of the USA, in part because I have no faith in the economic future of the USA (yes partly because of Obama as leader, I probably would do the same under a Romney gov't), the other, it sure is a long drive to California when sh!t hits the fan, and if they are here in Alberta I only have a 3 hr drive to reboot and don't have to pay someone to maintain my severs...

Bring 3 jobs back to Canada, where I am proud to provide jobs.

...and as I posted on another thread..



YOU MAD WALTER??

The Boeing one if I'm not mixed up with something else was delayed until after the election, at the WH request, in order to make the unemployment numbers look better.

Seems Boeing is shifting people and not letting them go and for market reasons not Political. But do keep in mind how many jobs would be lost if say a Ron paul got in and decimated the military so he could save some tax money..................


Quote:


Boeing said it could not project exactly how workers would lose their jobs because it would try to place people in its growing commercial business.


Boeing said the changes were not a response to the threat of additional, across-the-board U.S. budget cuts due to take effect on Jan. 2, or the outcome of U.S. elections, but represented another step in its continuing drive to "be more competitive while investing in technologies and people."

Rival Lockheed Martin has reduced its management ranks by about 25 percent in recent years after announcing a voluntary buyout.

What it potentially means is that the cost of doing business has caused this employer to re-evaluate their economics and adjust accordingly.

Obama made it clear in the campaign that he intended to raise taxes on those that made more than $250k. That and things like the cost of mandatory Omabacare to the employer generate consequences such as layoffs.

Some of them probably wouldn't have survived anyhow what with having to compete with Romneyesque offshore production - or if they have to look to blame someone else for their own failures

Also, the claim that Obama has launched a “war on coal” is nonsense: coal employment hit a 15 year high last November, and coal jobs are either higher or at the same level as four years ago in West Virginia, Virginia, and Ohio.

The coal CEO laying off workers is the same one who forced his workers to attend a Romney rally in August. Those workers had to forgo a day of pay in order to attend the rally. In the past, Murray has also forced his workers to make campaign donations to Republicans.

Perhaps a listing of the millions of jobs lost due to Bush Polices would also be in order.

Come to think of it, when the U.S. Labor Department reports jobs numbers next month, I'm betting net jobs will have been created like it's been doing for years.

So much for this conservative talking point.

What makes you think Romney is suddenly going to become compassionte about anyone?




Classy to the bitter end. Look what he did to the loyal workers that stayed with him past the end to make sure everything was put into order..............




From the moment Mitt Romney stepped off stage Tuesday night, having just delivered a brief concession speech he wrote only that evening, the massive infrastructure surrounding his campaign quickly began to disassemble itself.

Aides taking cabs home late that night got rude awakenings when they found the credit cards linked to the campaign no longer worked.

So, conservatives are laying off employees and it is all Obama's fault. Some people are just sore losers.

Creating jobs in America is too risky because of the tax and regulatory regime. It makes more sense to create jobs overseas.

Riiiggghhttt.... All those business owners are going to screw their own companies and make less money for themselves just to spite Obama.

Say, maybe with that logic, the 50+% of Americans that don't pay federal income taxes will start paying it out of spite as well... Make sense to you?

Bingo!

How does creating jobs for people on foreign shores get Americans back to work - unless you're planning on evicting citizens?

Too much ether in corporate headspace....

How much sense does that make to you?

Taxes overseas are a fraction of what exists in the USA today and the Democrats are increasing your costs to do business even more.. All this still doesn't recognize that the cost of labor elsewhere is a tiny fraction.

You don't get it; Obama is not only giving the corporations every reason to leave - he's pushing them away

Democrats and Obama aren't doing a damned thing to hurt me or any other Canadian. How is living on ten bucks an hour (if you can find a call centre or fast food outlet hiring) in an economy geared for twenty-buck-an-hour incomes improving the lot for the people who make the wheels turn? Investors don't care where their money comes from or who they hurt to get more. Why cater to them?

Not just Boeing either. Several Defense Contractors with a California base are getting out too. No one is making any statements but I do remember when two other big manufacturing firms moved out. One had a statement about "why would we stay when we can cut our costs by 25% with a move out of this state?" It doesn't take a genius to figure it out either.

Well they could probably apply and campaign for those who will be running in the 2014 midterms.

Hopefully longer. Even if I didnt lean centre left on most things his whining along with Teddy's was enough for me to root for Obama. If not for him and Teddy I would have definitely been much more critical of Obama on this forum.

The US is Canada's largest trading partner... The poorer that they get reflects on their lower capacity to buy goods from Canada resulting in lower revenues for the Cdn mfgrs/suppliers and therefore their employees.

So, yes, the policies that Obama and the Democrats impose on their nation will have an impact on Canadians

Fine - make minimum wage $20/hr; but bear in mind that you'll also have to pass legislation that prohibits the employers from increasing the cost of their goods/services to compensate for this..... That would defeat the whole propose after all.

Think that this is a realistic expectation?

Why cater to them?

Let's see... Without the investor-base, there is no money to start the company that will pay a minimum wage of $20. Not only does a potential employee not earn $20/hour, the possibility of earning $10/hr is off the table as well.
