Appointing a major outsourcer
like
Jeff Immelt CEO of General Electric
to head the Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, is kinda like appointing an arsonist to be the chief of the fire department
The president said "GE has something to teach businesses all across America". Maybe so
but Immelt dropped the stock values by 60% when he took the helm, and then dessimated the factory town of
Cleveland Ohio particularly the light bulb factories,
with massive closings and outsourceing to that wonderful nation invited to the state dinner a minute ago
According to the United Electrical Workers Union
this guy closed 29 plants
in the United States in the past two years,
laying off around 3,000 workers.
"While Immelt was calling for manufacturing to stay in the U.S., his company was at the same time shipping manufacturing jobs overseas by canceling an order with an American-based wind turbine maker, ATI Casting Service in LaPorte, Ind., so that GE could instead buy the parts from a factory in China."
