In recent years my beloved little section of Ohio here has taken more than it's share of major hits when it comes to losing jobs. I could create a list containing thousands of much needed jobs that have been swept out the the area.
I'm not sure if this fits in with fighting for Ohio or not. But I'll do my best to enlighten you on it. After years of being neatly tucked into a spot on Cable Road here in Lima, and years of faithful service by the men and women working there- another company, Milcor has been bought out, and now is currently being packed up to ship down to Mexico.
My way of looking at it is this is the companies telling us that since they can't bring illegal workers here... they just send the jobs there. Because basically that is what they are doing. Choosing to lay off a mass amount of people who have worked there day in and day out for a fair wage, in order to hire a brand new breed of people willing to work day in and day out for peanuts.
I'm happy to admit that THIS is a union family. Not that union life is perfect- but the principles developed by the first ones to unionize where done so to ensure that every man earned a fair wage. the protected workers rights. And that still stands today.
It seems more and more companies are deciding that American companies, and American employees are no longer due the respect of having job security. If they become tired of paying a fair wage- they just haul up and move south.
Another company is hiring illegals- but they are doing it lawfully by shipping their company to Mexico in order to do it.
What gets me is that no matter where we are- we are losing good paying jobs to Mexico. Either by way of illegal aliens coming here or by the company going there.
Ohio has suffered enough. We've provided tax breaks to many of these companies for years. Our American, our Ohio workers have labored for years to earn the companies respect for the fine products that they turn out. And what is the thanks they get for their years of loyal service? The companies prosper and sell out to Mexico.
This Sunday, there will be a rally in Lima to support those that have given years of loyal work to Milcor. Labor Union members and non union members are being asked to come out and show support for the employees at Milcor. The rally will be held at 1:30 p.m. Sunday at the United Auto Workers union meeting hall, 1440 Bellefontaine Avenue.
