The bottom line is that a large number of US workers suck. A fraternity brother from college is one of the 1400 Carrier employees whose jobs are going to Mexico. While he is mad, he completely understands why. The workers at his factory don't want to work.

For example, based on the union work rules, the write-up for being 10 minutes late is the same as being 2 hours late. So if someone is going to be late, they just wait until the 2-hour mark and then show up. By that time the production line has made adjustments for them not being there and now has to make new adjustments when they show up.

The biggest problem in this country is you can't fire a worker easily. If workers knew they could be fired if they screw off then maybe they would be better workers.
