@@dawna8695 You're hilarious. Sumitomo is a massive conglomerate, consistently ranking among the world's largest companies. They made $46 billion US dollars in their last fiscal year. This Buffalo plant is a nothing burger. Recognizing that Trump's planned tariffs will not make a US plant fiscally viable, they're going to take that operation to a country with a friendly tax base. You're about to bear witness to how regular people are adversely affected when a country takes a posture that only benefits the ultra rich. Every economist on the planet has said Trump's intention will severely hurt the US economy. It's not brain surgery to understand it. Enjoy the ride to Hell.

Manufacturing in the US cannot compete with manufacturing done where it's cheaper to operate and manufacture. Manufacturing in New York State certainly cannot compete with manufacturing done outside the US in locations where it's cheaper to operate and manufacture. Even with tax credits and tax rebates and breaks , New York State is still a costly place to manufacture and do business.

Sumitomo was probably already concerned about the financial problems from the upcoming Trump tariffs and decided to cut it out while they can. This is just the beginning thanks to Trump.

They were at peak production. Union made deal to keep reduced employees on ,but got some benefits. 2020 Union decided to give in and close plant. They did not want to. It was the best option. In 2021 (on year after plant closing)Goodyear CEO got 21 million dollar pay The workers made about $43,000 a year.

I feel sorry for the people that suddenly loss their jobs. However, for the person that said tariffs would have helped this factory is wrong. This was a foreign company that had a manufacturing factory on American soil. If these tires are significantly higher priced than imported tires, then why? Also, I would think that some or all of the materials used to build the tires are imported from other countries. Therefore, there would be tariffs on the materials they used to build the tires, which would cause the price of their tires to increase. Therefore, the imported tires, with a tariff, would still be (most likely) desirable price wise.
