Stack-On - Illinois manufacturer moving to Mexico over Trump tariffs

A storage safe manufacturer is reportedly planning to shut down two Illinois factories and move to Mexico in response to President Trump’s tariffs on Chinese metal imports.

Stack-On Products will close its two Chicago-area plants in October, and lay off 153 people, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Al Fletcher, human resources director for the manufacturer’s Las Vegas-based parent company, told the newspaper that the company decided to relocate the operations to Mexico after Trump announced tariffs on steel and aluminum, as well as other products, from China. “The operation is really not profitable,” Fletcher said. “Mr. Trump is part of this.”

Stack-On has operated in Chicago at its only two U.S. plants for four decades, according to the Tribune, which added that the company already has factories in Mexico and China.

Glad I bought my Safe 5 years ago ...

Good. Fuck Illinois. It isn't a Trump state anyway. Who cares. The state is going bankrupt anyway.

Y'all promised $4,000-$9,000 wage increases and that you'd bring jobs back if we cut corporate taxes.

Like everything Conservatives promise, it was bullshit.
 
Looks to me as if Stack On hasn't really been profitable and is looking to take the easy way out and blame someone else for it.


I know you uneducated deplorables aren't going to know about this stuff but in the end tariffs do cause businesses to close as they cause a higher cost structure

I didn't promise you shit. I hope you live in Illinois. I hope your fucking state goes belly up bankrupt and you come running to the rest of the country for a hand out and are told " GO FUCK YOURSELVES"

Y'all promised doing that would "bring jobs back", but now all we're seeing are jobs leaving.

"Anyone who believed that was a fool..plain and simple" L #45
Ditto "drain the swamp", make America great again", "I'm gunna build a wall ... Mexico's gunna pay for it" - bring back coal - and many etc.

Not clear to me why anyone believes Trump at all.
 
You all promised cutting taxes would "bring jobs back".

It didn't.

If you bothered to read other than biased sources, you'd know they were.

When the only thing you want to do is pucker up to the previous President's asshole, you don't see anything but the shit he's feeding you.

LOL!

Every single promise made of these tax cuts has been a load of crap.

They didn't "bring jobs back".

They didn't increase wages by "$4,000 to $9000".

They didn't grow the DJIA.

They didn't even lead to the 4-5% growth since Q1 was only 2.2% and Q2 was bolstered by a rush of exports to get ahead of the tariffs. Q3's growth is going to be really shitty.

Your response to the failure of the Russia Tax Cut to deliver on its promises is "good"?

2018 is the slowest pace of job growth since 2017, which was the slowest since 2011.

We've seen many companies announce layoffs and outsourcing.

What we haven't seen are companies "bringing jobs back".
 
I bet you're still fool enough to believe everyone that liked their doctor/healthcare plan was able to keep it like the black boy promised.

1. You actually could keep your doctor - you just had to choose an insurance plan off the exchanges they accepted. That would require you to take personal responsibility for your health care and act like an adult.

2. What was it about your health care plan that you actually liked? If the only answer you can give is the cost, then you didn't like your health care plan, you just liked how much you paid for it.
 
Is Trump doing the outsourcing? You n-lovers will find anything to blame on Trump.

I see you ignored the part about how you whine about labels while having labeled someone. Coward.

Another president who ran against outsourcing American jobs while the outsourcing of American jobs just keeps rolling on. It is what it is despite your feckless denial of objective reality.

We all see him not doing what he ran on, the entire world does. While waiting on Mexico's check for "the wall", jobs go to Mexico. MAGA.

1. In other words, if someone liked the plan they had but didn't get to keep it like your nigger said, you're saying it was their fault. How about all those that weren't taking responsibility for their healthcare by refusing to buy coverage and it costing others because they should have been denied the care when they couldn't pay?

2. Mine NEVER turned me down when I had to use it like so many of you Obama lovers claimed was being done. That means it provided excellent coverage AND it was at a good price.
