Auto paycuts head south

MEXICO CITY: Mexican auto unions are taking a cue from U.S. labor leaders by offering two-tier hiring schemes and salary cuts that bring already low wages down to levels near those paid in China.

I'm glad to see Mexico getting some of it's own medicine after taking our good paying jobs from Ohio to Mexico. Hopefully, BHO will figure a way to get the US economy back on track after 8 years of Bush_A$$ & his wealthy tax cutting big business friends have destroyed it. Boy I hate Bush_A$$ for what he has done.

Unions sent jobs to Mexico. They made it impossible to pay employees a "decent" wage, they always wanted more (mainly to line the pockets of those in charge of the union).

Our workers make good stuff for low wages 'cause the cost of living is equally low. Consequently they have pretty good life. Your over-inflated economy is your prob
