It looks as if Harley Davidson is preparing to go out for Chinese. After another year of record profits they're putting the squeeze on their employees. Now, we all know that many of the parts are already manufactured outside the US but don't be surprised to see HD go the way of maximum profit no matter what the cost. Remember when Wal-Mart boasted Made in the USA on the majority of their products?
440 Harley employees were temporarily laid off today due to the strike. I don't know the full story behind the strike at this point but it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Stay tuned.
I guess those of us with rice burners (or whatever they are called) will sadly have the last laugh. Maybe the domestic Harley factory will be focused on a workforce that can polish chrome and mount American flags and leather fringe on the handlebars.
