Tell your friends to stop voting Republican.A labor union for Harley-Davidson met with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) this week to criticize the motorcycle-maker after the company announced plans to build a plant in Thailand while closing a factory in Missouri.
“These companies are taking tax breaks with one hand and handing out pink slips with the other,” International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers President Bob Martinez Jr. told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Wednesday. “I’m going to call it like I see it ... this is a corporate ambush on working people."
The union has specifically criticized Harley for investing in the Thailand factory after receiving massive tax cuts from President Trump's and the Republicans' new tax plan.
Despite pleas from lawmakers to keep the Kansas City factory open, Harley has decided to close it, a move that will result in the job losses of about 800 workers.
