The realization of a globalized work force.......USA Today!!

[tigerred59]

GE got praised a few years ago for bringing back good paying union jobs from Mexico back to the US. I don't know if it was for the quality of its product being made better here or the package deal the state offered at tax payers expense, either way, they were herald as American first hero's. But GE like all manufactorers in this country, couldn't compete....and like most, opted out and eventually was bought out by foreigners.....just like my company and most companies in the US.

After China-based Haier paid parent General Electric $5.4 billion last year for the appliances division, the new owners and the union needed to sign a new labor contract. The new contract: The new contract, similar to the first, calls for creating a $12-an-hour wage for entry-level workers who will be placed in a "flexible workforce training pool" starting Feb. 27. New workers can switch to "competitive wage" $14-an-hour positions as spots become available. $14 an hour had been the previous entry level rate.

More than half of all manufacturing jobs are being done by robots, GE is no different. New foreign owners are indifferent to America's pipe dreams of good paying jobs, could care less about Unions and warned workers, to either take it or we'll leave. THIS IS CORPORATE AMERICA TODAY FOLKS....AND NOTHING SHORT OF SLICING OPEN A VEIN IS GONNA CHANGE REALITY!!

I site GE for a reason. China who's so far ahead of us in all areas of innovation, committment to technology, state of the art infastructures...and we're discussing opening up aged coal mines. We blocked a president for 8 years from funding projects for our crumbling roads and schools and bridges and still again we're talking about coal mines and destroying land for oil pipes that will give us less than a 100 permanent jobs.

Nothing Trump will ever ever ever ever ever do, will or can restore yesterdays American landscape of good paying jobs and a ticket to the middle class or higher, those days are gone.

What we as a nation, as people, as human beings, we have got to embrace the future, today and invest our dreams, our hopes, our desires for better....in education and re training our people to come up with new ideas in which to survive and prosper in this new world. There is no gray area in this demand, only hope that somebody somewhere can reach of nation hell fire bent on recreating an era that has long past gone.

You can correct my grammer, my message you can attack, but reality no matter how long we keep our ears covered and our eyes closed...in here and we best get with the program to survive a world that is passing us by by the seconds.

GE was in collusion with Obama. Their CEO actually had a job in the administration.

Jeffery Immelt -
February 2009, in the early days of the Obama administration, Immelt was appointed as a member to the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board to provide the president and his administration with advice and counsel in fixing America's economic downturn.[55] When President Obama chose to put Jeffrey Immelt at the head of the Economic Advisory Board, he felt that Immelt had attributions in knowing what would help the global economy. Obama has reported that Immelt has emerged as one of his top economic advisors in regards to trying to rebuild America's economy.[56]

On January 21, 2011, President Obama announced Immelt's appointment as chairman of his outside panel of economic advisers, succeeding former Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker.[57] The New York Times reported that Obama's appointment of Immelt was "another strong signal that he intends to make the White House more business-friendly."[57] The council met a total of four times, with its final meeting on January 17, 2012.[58] In 2013, the authorization for the council was not renewed, causing the council to be permanently shut down.[59]

Immelt's strategies have contributed to a build-up of cash. At the end of 2012, over $100 billion had been kept offshore to avoid a special federal repatriation tax.[33] As such, GE is a member of a controversial group of American companies experiencing "trapped cash" thought to exceed $1.7 trillion across this group of corporations. In 2015, GE announced a repatriation program for part of its cash balances.

After the US fiscal crisis of 2008–09, Immelt reduced GE's dividends to conserve capital and internal funding, causing a negative reaction among some dividend-oriented investors. He recently began a public campaign to press the state of Connecticut for local tax benefits and threatened to move some of GE's operations out of the state if the benefits were not forthcoming.

As Chairman and CEO of GE, Immelt has come under attack for leading GE towards legally avoiding paying US federal corporate taxes. GE's tax positions have become a major item in Immelt's agenda. GE's local taxes in Connecticut have increased 5 times since 2011, and the state had approved yet another revised tax policy in early 2015. Immelt threatened to move GE"s headquarters out of Connecticut if the state would not back away from the tax plan.[34]

During the US Presidential elections in 2012, GE came under attack for not paying US federal taxes while receiving substantial federal tax benefits. While the tax attacks created the impression that GE paid no taxes, its worldwide tax expense was over $3 billion, with most of the taxes paid in foreign jurisdictions. GE is reported to have paid no federal US taxes in 2010.[35]
