Just think, this plant that employs 2,300 reasonably well-paid factory workers will probably leave after being thrown a paltry $15 million incentive package while the downtown Lancaster Marriott Hotel & CC, which might employ the equivalent of 250 low-paid service workers gets $150+ MILLION in public subsidies. Great governing geniuses!

Wow they are going to lay off 2300 hundred republicans in York and hire lower paid republicans in a red state.
Isn't that what the republicans stand for? Except when it happens to them?
Yeah love thy neighbor like you love yourself.

They are considering locations in Tennessee and Kentucky and all I could think of whan I heard that is Oh. great, motorcycles screwed together by the cast of Deliverance.

Caterpillar did the same thing a few years back. The unions keep asking for more pay and more concessions by the company. They'll just move to an area with a lower cost of living and won't have union workers. It's all about the buck, forget about the employees. It's becoming the standard everywhere. If a job can be done by temps, a staff of regulars will be kept on, to teach them. The company doesn't have to pay for the benefits for the temps so, they still get their product out the door, still raise prices when they want to but now they can do it at half the cost.

Except the union wasn't asking for more pay, at least for the workers already employed. Caterpillar institutes a two tier wage system with the new hires making less than half the full wage amount.
They said they had to remain competitive with global manufacturers of heavy equipment. Funny thing is the upper management suits didn't take similar cuts although their pay scale is way over compensation rates for their foreign competition.
