This is the problem that America faces. This is what the government needs to stop from happening. Laws should be in place to prevent this from happening and if this is an American owned business their license to operate a business in the US should be revoked. Let them get a license from Mexico since they want to take the jobs there. Their product should not be allowed entry back in America.

I completely agree.
Somebody in the government needs to step up & put this in the national news & stir the pot so Americans get mad & policy is changed!

Amen! When will it all end? When ALL of the jobs have left the USA? It is a National Disgrace and we are just letting it happen!

Another buyout , another 250 jobs lost in Minnesota, going again to Mexico. Why do they have to go to Mexico, labor rates and a cut in taxes. People we need to boycott companies like this. And our governor of this state needs to wake up and stop this kinda of thing from happening. In fact any company that takes jobs out of the USA , then brings their product back here to sell needs to pay 10 times the taxes and shipping cost, and must register with each state to sell there, and then only after buying seller contract with the town it wants to do business in and with each state, price of this contract one million per year. Plus 10 times the taxes as a normal business. Then maybe they would bring our jobs back to where they belong.

I totally agree Anne, where is our gov? President? I guess they got nothing to said…Last time lockhead martin company in Eagan. Now ADC Telecomunication in Shakopee. What’s next? I smell sting for those who left American behide? they should change there citizentship..God bless America…

Welcome to free markets everyone was so excited to vote for in 2010. The free market advocates got voted into office 2010 and this is only the beginning. No one else is to blame but the voters who got bamboozled into voting against their economic interests. Who do the workers expect to speak up for them? Which national leader will try to stand up against this kind of activity, when the one who campaigned to fight for the middle class is called a socialist? Cue up the nasty rhetoric…until you lose your job…and social security and medicare are next on the chopping block..

The comment section is more interesting than the story.

Who is to question the CEO of ADC. How much is it worth to sell out?

How many companies have left Minnesota now whho are major employers and the question is WHY? the sounds of our states leadership is totally silent or maybe really doesn”t care only that they can raise their own paychecks and create Minnesotas growht industry TAXES.
