After a crummy Q2 Ge Healthcare product solutions moved the maternal and infant care line to a plant in Juarez Mexico.
Jobs lost not sure how many. Just had to take some GE girls camp students through on a plant tour that day when people were crying thier eyes out
Showing the girls the risks of corporate America young lol
That's a great location to go. They get initial GE training on the other side then they can step over the border and work for our great company on this side with a green card.
Likely that is a business GE does not want to invest in and the only way to bleed the turnip a bit more is to lower labor costs by moving out of the country, along with sourcing cheaper parts and reducing quality.
I suspect the tears you saw were tears of joy, employees having been put out of their misery.
