@connselmerinc.bsky.social leaving the United States is absolutely insane. What an enormous loss on so many levels.
This is a moral failure, not a financial failure. Instead of bargaining over fair pay, Conn-Selmer decided to ship its Ohio operations to China. Hundreds of union jobs are on the chopping block so billionaires can reap more profits. UAW members are gearing up for a big fight to keep these jobs.
