Wow.. Slap in the face to customers and workers by another Corperate J**kA**.

Maybe it will change if we complain enough. I know the company I work for, AT&T/SBC, is pulling all of their work out of India because so many customers complained about it.

typical comments from those who don't want to have the united states citizen effect thier pocket book. truth in business "i'm worth more than the people who helped me make it all"

I heard that they were moving the company to Mexico? Am i right? This is BULL S&#T!!! Why? Ok let's give 630 jobs to the border, and make 630 more people on welfare. Of course, that's what the government wants.... God it's almost like they want everyone on welfare, that way they can control us even more!!!!! UGH!! This makes me sick!!!

I did buy lazy boy in the past but no more. What are they going to do pay the workers 10$ a day down there really would like to know how much a lazy boy employee makes now and how much they will pay in Mexico

There was a time when most products we bought were labeled "Made in U.S.A.". Today it's mighty hard to find such an item. WalMart accounts for 10% of China's export production. What happened to the time when Sam Walton was proud to sell products made here. But do we care? Just look at the cars in any WalMart lot. Our phones are handled from India, Mexico builds many of our cars and other things. My Motorola radios were made in Israel, now Malaysia. Zenith, RCA were companies that were builders of America, now outside the U.S. We better find a way to produce again. In WWII what saved the world was the immense production capability of the U.S., sure hope we never need that again.

im sorry but all it is going to do when they move the lazy boy factory to mexico is force 600 mexicans back to mexico to get their old jobs back. made in america used to mean somthing because it was products being made by americans but that has not been the case for a long time. the people who seem so shocked by this are the same people who have had their heads burried in the sand while illigals took all of jobs from americans. but now you seem suprised ? why ? you were here doing NOTHING as they crept over the boarder and slowley stole your country away from you.its time for america to wake up and make made in america mean somthing again !! but you will need to start by bocoyting american companeys that hire illigals and dont just boycot but call corprate office to tell them why. march around with signs telling people why you are boycoting. call your congressman,call the govoner complain to anyone who will listen because if you dont you are the lazyboy and you cant complaine if you do nothing to stop it.

My husband's company is also moving their operations to Mexico in June and about 500 people will lose their jobs there. I understand the frustration and questions that come with that kind of decision and the upheaval in causes for families. We are moving to Iowa and will have to start all over there, but he has family there, so we will have help during this process.
I agree with many of the sentiments expressed, but the solution to this problem is not an easy one. While it is true that US companies have the expense of providing benefits, which include medical, leave pay, etc, I don't think just boycotting and/or calling corporate offices will work.
There are many issues involved with a company's decision to move operations out of the US. Congress needs to seiously look at the cost of medical care in this country. European countries provide socialized medicine, which takes profit out of the equation for hospitals pharmaceutical companies, and doctors.
That would lower or eliminate the high mal-practice insurance that these providers have to carry, which would translate to lower costs for companies.
European countries also tax their citizens at higher rates to help cover the costs of socialized medicine. So, again, I agree with what Bubbapit said about Americans needing to be willing to "bite the bullet" and give up some of our advantages.
We Americans need to start shouldering the responsibility for what's going wrong with our country and quit blaming the illegals for the loss of jobs. The Latino/Hispanic citizens were actively recruited by the US Government during both
