My in-laws worked for Price Pfister for 20+ years until they moved the plant to Mexicali, Mexico. They gave them all a crappy severance package, Price Pfister was owned by Stanley Black and Decker at the time.
So I wont buy anything made by Black and Decker.
In 1996 Price Pfister shut down its foundry in the U.S. as they began moving jobs over into Mexico, laying off 300 of the 1200 U.S. jobs at their plant in Pacoima, California.[4] To protest the layoffs and limited severance packages, ten of the workers went on hunger strikes, and on day ten of the strike one of them collapsed and required medical attention. The company blamed the cutbacks on state regulations that limited the amount of lead allowed in faucets.[6] A local labor activist group leader stated that the company was "using environmental issues as a scapegoat" since rival companies had already managed to improve their manufacturing within the U.S.[5] The Teamsters local negotiator claimed that the move was due in part to the cheaper cost of labor over in Mexico, stating that the wages at the plant were $17 an hour including benefits, while in Mexico the wages were $1 or less.[7] The new president, Ron Cooper, stated that the remaining 900 jobs might soon be moved as well, since the Pacoima plant would be too large for their needs. Regardless of where they moved, the 450 factory workers would be laid off and a new staff would be hired. The plant was completely shut down in 1997. |

I know. In NJ, we are used to having to find things in the garbage and moving them, especially upstate. |
