Glad to see it. A lot of people are more aware of the importance of buying American using union labor. It sets the high standard, which is a nice change from the race to the bottom.

FCA is making this move at the same time that it was announced that there would be a loss of an entire shift (+/- 1300 jobs) at the FCA plant in Belvidere, IL. Rob from Peter to pay Paul.

Therefore, the impact is more like 2500 jobs.

Nothing has been a long term help for Detroit since the 60's this will pass too.

That whole region will continue to lag if they still depend on manufacturing jobs.

Hope it helps . I have seen a documentary or two on Detroit . Very , very sad . Will take a LOT of jobs to turn things around . :-(

I don't think anyone cares who makes the vehicle except current or ex Union Workers. The surge is due to appealing products from a foreign owned company in Jeep and RAM not country of assembly. The profits go abroad.....

Detroit had at one point 43 auto plants.
If they bet on car industry, they will never rebound.
