Mid Continent Nail, the largest nail manufacturer in the heartland of the United States, has laid off 150 of its 500 employees since June 2018. In August 2018, Harley-Davidson, “a true American icon, one of the greats”—according to President Donald Trump—announced that it would have to shift some production from the United States to other countries, such as Brazil, India, and Thailand. In November 2018, General Motors (“GM”), another highly recognized U.S. company, announced that it would halt production at five North American plants and lay off fifteen percent of its salaried and contract workforce, which totaled nearly 15,000 people.
