NAFTA is great for the corporations, it's been terrible for many working people. I live in Northern Ontario, on the border with the UP, where is the free trade? There's still duty to pay at the border over a certain amount. As a Canadian, I'm no fan of Trump, but he's right, we're getting screwed on free trade - from the Canadian side. Combined with the corrupt and an environmentalist provincial government in Toronto that (expletive deleted) consumers with the high price of power, the manufacturing sector in Ontario has been gutted. Many of those jobs have been shipped to Mexico. If governments wanted to reshape our national economy, they should have let us in on the deal.

That's an amazing mini-docu. I must admit I can see both sides here. Mark chose to keep positive and I can respect that. John stood on his principles and I can respect that.
The sad thing is that their friendship suffered and ended. And that company was definitely not worth that. I hope they find each other again.
The deep irony of the situation is that companies that pay their workers well have incentive to move jobs out of the country and companies that that can underpay their employers have reason to stay.
Capitalism is deeply flawed.

alot of them are coming to the south because of their anti-union views, going through temp companies and paying people a little more than mexico and working us 6 or 7 days, 12 hr shifts sometimes for months straight without a day off, if people fought for workers rights and got unions back we would have good paying jobs again with days off and if corporations dont like that then let them go to other countries and produce horrible products that will result in a decline of their business and they'll come crawling back

I wonder if the taxes paid by the company were the biggest deciding factor on the shutdown? I know an individual that recently went through this with GE. He had train his replacement as well. I think he had about 25 or better years with the company. These jobs take actions from government officials that really care about keeping the jobs here. I hope these stories do not continue.

This was tough to watch. Ive seen my father live through layoffs and a buyout. I get both sides, but I was shaking my head at John for holding it against Mark for making the best of a bad situation. If he wants to be angry about something be mad at the CEO. Both of these guys have lost their jobs regardless.

He is not a bad guy. he is a good guy with a bad attitude. Like Tai Lopez said. it is not the strongest or the smartest people who survives. it is the people who is willing to change and prepare for that.

Now days the machines does most of the work. A human is only needed to put raw materials into the machine and take out the completed part. You can teach anyone in few days to do these kind of work.

If these people don't lose their jobs to Mexicans, they will lose their jobs to robots. One way or another, most manufacturing by American worker will end in few years.

Corporate pigs turning friends against each other. Pin the poor against each other. When will we learn we have to rise up against the oligarchs.
