    They have two actually,

    • Mexico: Mermosillo Stamping and Assembly Plant
    • Mexico: Cauatitlan Stamping and Assembly Plant

    Keep in mind, that the combined total employees at these facilities is about 3000 employees, vs. the 10,000 employee plant in Kentucky.

    So if we are talking about scale, I do not think it is fair comparison to say that a 6% of Ford’s operations in Mexico is worth 16% of it’s production in one factory.

    Nor is it fair to assume that someone is going to snap their fingers and suddenly a new factory that can equal the production of the US is going to appear in Mexico. Or that Ford is just going to abandon a literal car factory just because labor in Mexico is cheaper.

      I believe both of those plants are unionized as well, so Ford may not like what will happen if they decide to strike in solidarity with American workers.
