more winning-tariffs lead to layoffs

[del]

anyone who's read a 9th grade history book knew this was coming, so it's probably a surprise to trump.

The first casualties of President Trump's trade war are 60 workers at Mid-Continent Nail, America's largest nail manufacturer. They lost their jobs on June 15 at a factory in a part of Missouri that voted overwhelmingly for Trump. The whole company could be out of business by Labor Day.


This is a potential game changer in Trump's trade strategy, especially if it marks the start of more companies announcing layoffs. On Monday, Harley-Davidson said it will be moving some “production” offshore because of the trade war (Europe hit Harley with a 31 percent tariff in response to Trump's steel tariffs on Europe). Harley won't confirm if jobs are leaving the United States, but the union representing many Harley workers, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, is worried.

Mid-Continent Nail blames the layoffs on Trump's tariffs and the company says all 500 employees could lose their jobs by Labor Day. The next round of cuts could come in a matter of days.


The trouble for the company started at the end of May when Trump put a hefty 25 percent tariff on steel imports from Mexico and Canada. Mid-Continent had been importing steel from Mexico that American workers would then turn into nails.


After the tariff, the company was forced to hike its prices and customers fled. Orders are a mere 30 percent of what they were a year ago, said George Skarich, the vice president of sales. He suspects many customers are now buying Chinese nails.

Well, you know, delski, the point of tariffs is to encourage domestic production.

Companies have been buying steel made in China and rebranded in Mexico and Canada almost since NAFTA took effect.

It’s okay. Wilbur Ross, the 80 year old billionaire moonlighting as a villain in Trump’s cabinet, says us peasants need to feel some pain.

And which country is the one that’s so wealthy and powerful it makes the others look like jokes? But let’s copy their economic model. Fabulous.

Which country and workers are you routing for...........German Auto maker jobs or American auto working jobs.

Do you support our chicken farmers and timber industry or Canada's..........

It's real simple........remove your dang tariffs against us and well do the same...........Grow a set.

You gotta stand up sometimes and say no more, we want free trade just like Trump has told these countries, they need us to buy their crap, because we are the ones they rely on to purchase stuff.
Trumps plan seams to always work out, how many times have liberals screamed the sky is falling only to be wrong!

"Earlier this month, news came out that 50 Tampa Bay Times employees would face a fate typically reserved for factory workers and steel mill operators: Losing their jobs in a trade dispute."

Workers who lose jobs in America's trade war won't get much help



Tariffs the United States imposed on softwood lumber from Canada had raised the paper's newsprint costs by some $3 million a year, the publisher said, and the business' already thin margins couldn't absorb that.


Normally, when a job is outsourced or terminated as a result of import competition, workers get some extra help. On top of unemployment insurance, they are also eligible for something called Trade Adjustment Assistance, an approximately $800 million a year program that provides cash and covers tuition for retraining programs to help people get back on their feet.


But the 56-year-old program doesn't cover people who lose jobs in later phases of trade disputes. The essential requirement for eligibility is that the job was lost to "foreign competition." Jobs lost due to tariffs actually levied by the United States -- which can raise domestic prices and provoke retaliatory measures from abroad -- don't qualify.

There's plenty of pulpwood pines in FL and GA. Tampa Bay Times is a leftist rag, anyway. Newpapers are all but gone. There is no need for the US to import pulpwood pines. Phake Nooz!

In the mid 90's our mills were BOOMING..........until these globalist idiots killed them............

Canada will LOSE on this one big.........We can crank them back up.............They would be losing now if they didn't subsidize..........

They want a taste...........come and get some.

Never took you for a liberal. Enjoy your higher taxes for work that became obsolete here decades ago. Backwards is the new forwards.

I've been against these agreements since the 90's ...............And they AREN'T FREE NOW ARE THEY............If it were Free they wouldn't be subsidizing their products and placing 270% on chicken.................

Stop subsidizing and put that chicken to 0% and we will compete with Canada head to head.

Germany........auto makers put 25% against our auto's and Trucks........we have 2% on theirs........Put that to 2% and we will compete........

That has nothing to do with protectionism......which I'm not against.....it's FAIR TRADE.........Germany and Canada are supposed to be our allies.......START ACTING LIKE IT.
