Default GM, Propelling Mexico into the 21st century...and beyond!

In one of General Motors' sprawling auto parts plants in a Matamoros
industrial park just south of the Rio Grande, thousands of Mexican
workers earn $1 to $2 an hour producing instrument panels and steering
wheels for G.M. cars and trucks.

Until just a few years ago, United States workers earning close to $22
an hour at G.M.'s Delphi East factory in Flint, Mich., made the
instrument panels. And those at a plant to the north in Saginaw
produced the steering wheels.

G.M.'s shift of production from Flint and Saginaw to this border city
facing Brownsville, Tex., was part of a sweeping 20-year transfer of
its United States auto parts industry across the border. Since 1978,
General Motors has built more than 50 parts factories in Mexico, which
today employ 72,000 workers, making its parts subsidiary, Delphi
Automotive Services, Mexico's largest private employer.
