Harley Davidson shutting down US factory, moving jobs to Bangkok ................

So the plan in 2015 was to CONSOLIDATE production in KC, NOT shut down the KC plant and move production overseas.

Correct.

Harley-Davidson first announced that this plant would be closing in January, 2018. The company's manufacturing consolidation includes plans to shift production from Kansas City, Mo. into its plant in York, Pa.

So this is what you guys call MAGA
 
It's worth noting that MSNBC broadcast an interview with union employees who claimed the closure was due to "Trump's steel tariffs".

I'm not surprised that union members are spreading disinformation about a Republican president.
 
After cashing in on Trump's tax cut Harley Davidson is shutting down a US factory and moving jobs to Bangkok after cashing in on Trump’s tax cut

Despite President Donald Trump’s claim that massive tax cuts will boost U.S. employment numbers, motorcycle manufacturer Harley Davidson instead announced a plant closing, followed by a massive stock buy-back and is now shifting some jobs to Thailand.

In a deep dive into happenings at the Milwaukee-based manufacturer of highly-coveted motorcycles, Vox discovered employees and union leaders who believe that they were betrayed by the company which prides itself on its reputation for American-built products.

According to the report, in 2017 House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) hyped up proposed Republican tax cuts, telling workers in his home state, “Tax reform can put American manufacturers and American companies like Harley-Davidson on a much better footing to compete in the global economy and keep jobs here in America.”

However, after the GOP delivered on their proposal, executives announced the closing of a plant in Kansas City, Missouri — with 800 workers losing their jobs as some operations were moved to a York, Pennsylvania facility- leading to a net loss of 350 positions. According to union leaders, they never saw it coming.

:lolup: Leftist moron with severe TDS thinks Raw Story is about news. :rofl2:

Harley-Davidson plans Thailand factory to serve Southeast Asian market

Motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson Inc. said on Thursday it will build a plant in Thailand, a major Asian automotive hub, to serve the growing Southeast Asian market, a move criticized by a U.S. labor union.

The plant would let Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson avoid Thailand's up to 60 percent tariff on imported motorcycles and help it get tax breaks when exporting to Thailand's neighbors, thanks to a trade arrangement among members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nation (ASEAN).

So it looks like the bikes produced in Thailand are Asian-market only.

Looks that way; but shrill lying liberal losers want to pretend jobs in America are being lost when nothing could be further from the truth.

Another reason for the move; SIXTY percent tariffs on imported motorcycles and these shrill liberal dumbfucks whine about Trump imposing tariffs?
