Do you feel the same about CAW? I have as our tow vehicle a union built in Kentucky F250. My fun vehicle is an American made union built Harley. I've bought many union built in America vehicles over the years. If Ford would have offered the Focus in a hybrid, I would have chose it over the Prius in a heartbeat. I buy American union made when it's offered and it's what I want. If not, I'll support labor unions in other countries.
I'm in the USW and yes, I support American Union made overall. I support none union, American Made on a secondary level. I do support Canadian made on a third level. I don't support other foreign made vehicles at all.
I made the mistake of buying a GM foreign made sports car and seen how poorly it was assembled. At the time, I didn't realize it was made in Mexico, and wouldn't had bought it if I did. I foolishly thought that a Chevy would be an American made car. MY BAD.
Didn't realize that the Dodge Ram 2500/3500 were made in Mexico. To bad, I'll have to re-evaluate and may look at a F250 with 4.30 even closer now. Never heard of an American work truck made in a foreign country. Guess that's why my employer usually has Ford F250/F350/F450 vehicles and Chevy Silverado 2500/3500s.
What does your employer use for computers, cell phones, etc.? Like it or not, it is a world economy.
BM,
We all know the answer to that and that's no excuse to not buy an American made product by an American company when available which your truck doesn't comply to neither. Whenever I shop no matter what the product is I always look to see where the product is made and if I see "Made in the USA" that's the one I grab. And before you slurp even more nonsense we all know that there's no truck assembled with 100% American made parts, but it's a very easy search to see Ford comprises it's truck with the highest percentage of US made parts.
Too bad others like yourself continue to push the foreign brand.
BTW... Sergio Marchionne and Enrique Pena Nieto thanks you! :R
