La-Z-Boy Shipping Jobs to Mexico, Layoffs Coming to Dayton

I wish the U.S. would adopt a new law once a company leaves the U.S. they cant re-enter (the U.S.A.)to set up anymore factorys in that name like LZB(or any other company for that matter). If they come back they have to pay a back up taxes on the day they left U.S.. Cheap labor is wrong. I wont buy another thing from LZB or any over seas

la-z-boy is just another american company turning it's back on the people who made them what they are today. Traders to the american people and traders to their country. One word "GREED" is all you can say. It's never enough for rich people, they always want more, more, more. Well good luck trying to buy your way out of hell with money. Cause the Good Book says it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle that it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. What goes around comes around and I hope la-z-boy folds like the first chair they ever produced. I wonder what E.M.Knabrush and E.J. Shoemaker would think about how the American workers that they loved so much were being treated?

Got some good comments here but you're all missing the point. La-Z-Boy is not moving to Mexico for profits (at least not mostly). They are moving because US regulations make it almost impossible for them to do business here. They are moving the sewing and dying operations. Do you have any idea of the cost of environmental regulations on the use of dyes and chemicals? In the US those regulations can triple the price of a product. And it's not just La-Z-Boy. It's darn near every manufacturer in the country. Toss in reduced wages, low to no benefits and America becomes a nation of health care and service industry workers. Want to blame somebody? Blame the eco-nuts at the EPA and a Congress without the guts to challenge the ecological bull being sponsored by the EPA and its supporters. I'm a retired Industrial Engineer and about three forths of my job was to ensure compliance with hundreds of thousands of pages of regulations.

all of you lazyboy workers in tremonton, ....drop these suckers like a dead duck....quit today, walk of the job, draw unemployment while looking for another job....lazy boy doesn't deserve good workers like all of you....give them a run for their money....leave em without workers right now...don't wait for the boom to fall on you..get out of there...and don't ever, ever, ever, buy anything made or designed by lazy boy ever again and be sure to spread the word......you all thought you could retire someday...so much for the greed of american corporations like lazy boy...my sincerest condolonces to all of your great workers who have been dealt very unjustly.....remember the early americans...they wouldn't put up with this nonsense, they would leave and get a job where an employer appreciates all that you do...if you can find one out there ...but in the meantime don't give lazy boy the satisfaction of using you for a little bit longer....

long live the american spirit minus the mexican spirit would make for a better usa.

lazyboy is not the only company going over seas if you ever stop and look at what you have at your home its probably not made in america either

NAFTA (Now Another Foolish Trade Agreement) that Bush/Clintons have supporting claiming it will create jobs for the American people, well it did not. Bush wants to go further with CAFTA. It is no wonder why we are in ression. The article furthermore mentions a supplier in China. The corporations need to focous on people and not profits and making the American familes rich and not the CEO. After this tranisition in which I beleive will be faster than predicted to going to Mexico, will not stop at sewing, I beleive they will send the assembly work there as well.

We need to BOYCOTT anything that is made in a 3rd world country even if we have to do without. This is the only way we can stop the trend of outsourcing. Along as obsessed consumers go to Wal-Mart and buy all the cheap junk from China/Mexico etc the companies will continue this trend, seeing Americans is accepting it. If we as a country STOP buying outsourced junk then a message will be loud and if they do not relocate manufacturing on our homeland then we will not buy it anymore and they will go out of business, it would be no loss to us.

We can no longer depend on our goverment to protect us from imports only the consumer can do it, so Just say no to imports!!!

If it is not American made, then it is not good enough!!!!

My boycott will not send a message alone, it will take everyone to participate in a national BOYCOTT of 3rd world made productds!!!!!!

Let just do not complain do something about it, BOYCOTT is the only way!!!!!!!!!

We can talk about it yet our voices will go unnoticed, we can quit spending our money on it and that will not go un noticed.

When you go to buy, say by to imports before someone job will say buy to them. And Buy AMERICAN!!!!

This is just another continuation of NAFTA! Americans have been sitting fat in their Lazy Boy chairs and upholding traitors like Clinton and Bush that brought us this treason. If you don't know what nafta stands for, look it up in the same computer that you are reading this comment on. Educate ourselves, or we will all end up slaves in the country our founders died to make free! Ron Paul was trying to warn us about this kind of abuse of power for years.

I say to the employees of lazyboy to leave and let the company suffer for their greed. They will be gone this summer anyway, and the results to their private lives will be the same.

"We regret the impact these moves will have on the families and lives of those employees affected and greatly appreciate the contribution of each employee and thank them for their years of dedicated service.”

ARE THEY SERIOUS? THEY COULD NOT CARE ANY LESS ABOUT THOSE EMPLOYEES AND THEIR FAMILIES. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE ALL EMPLOYEES QUIT ON THEM, SUPPLIERS STOP ORDERING THEIR PRODUCTS AND CUSTOMERS STOP BUYING IT! GO ON AND MOVE THEIR WHOLE ENTIRE GREEDY BUSINESS TO MEXICO, WE WON'T BE BUYIN'! HELL, BEFORE VERY LONG, THEY WON'T HAVE ANYONE TO WORK FOR THEM IN MEXICO, COS THEY'RE ALL OVER HERE!!!! WOULDN'T THAT BE JUSTICE!

LETS SEE IF WE CAN GET THEM TO QUIT SELLING IN U.S. SINCE THEY SEE GREENER PASTURES (AT OUR EXPENSE) IN MEXICO. LET THEM KEEP THEIR PRODUCT THERE AS WELL. ITS NOT LIKE WE DON'T HAVE CHOICES OF AMERICAN MADE BRANDS OF FURNITURE.

Only in America. Greedy corporations take jobs from American workers and send them to Mexico (in this case) while Mexico sends their rejects to America to milk American social programs. The real American people have been betrayed by their country and corporate leaches.

WHAT GONNA HAPPEN TO THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA MANY FAMILY'S GETTING HUNGRY WHILE THE OTHERS COUNRTY GIVE THEM JOB...THIS IT TOO SAD.....WHY NOT CUT OFF ONLY THE PAY OF LOCAL WORKRS INSTEAD TO LAY OFF THEM...

Profits should fall I will no longer buy lazy boy and that is what is in my house and what i was going to take my son shopping for since he is soon to be married
