Dell moving work at closing NC plant offshore

Submitted by WWAY on Fri, 10/16/2009 - 10:31am.READ MORE:
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Production at the North Carolina plant that Dell Inc. is closing in Winston-Salem will be moved to Mexico and other countries, according to a federal document. The High Point Enterprise reported Friday that Dell indicated in a Trade Adjustment Assistance Act petition that the work that has been done in Winston-Salem will be given to third-party providers in Mexico and other countries. Dell said last week it will close the plant, cutting almost one thousand jobs in North Carolina. The petition allows workers at the Winston-Salem plant to collect additional unemployment benefits.

Dell closing NC factory

With our economy as it is why would you put more tarheels out of work. Closing is one thing. Moving out of the country for cheaper wages is another. I'll be glad to dump my dell computer and feel that if we all would dump our dells here in NC they just might get the message.

the Governor can jet down to Mexico or to Dell headquarters to stem this loss of jobs. The Mexican facility is located in Cancun -- right?
