The reason why automobile manufacturing plants in the U.S. are closing is because of greedy workers and their unions. If they would learn to economize and live on $37.50 a week wages like the Chinese do, the big car makers wouldn't be so quick to relocate their plants.

But I suppose that even if they agreed to that, the workers would soon be demanding the $26 a day wages earned by autoworkers in Mexico.

In a global economy, there's no competing with slave wages. There's the problem manufacturing workers face. I have no idea as to a solution.
