#1 .. plans to move the operations to Juarez, Mexico.

The bean counter that figured this was cheaper should be shipped there too. Who in their right mind would move an plant to the middle of a war zone? Did they count the cost of security and bribes necessary to get the raw material in and the end product out, not counting the shipments impounded along with the smuggled drugs in the carriers?

#2 Bribes aren't recorded so the true cost will not show.

#3 Meanwhile, back in Jaurez, businessmen who can afford it are moving across the border to El Paso. They must know something Honeywell doesn't.

#4 OK, Juarez is a war zone full of crooked government officials so Honeywell will have to pay extra for security and mordida. What is being said here is that, even with its problems, Juarez labor beats the crap out of the UAW. And yet, nobody in the UAW gets it.
