The United Auto Workers on Tuesday condemned the manufacturing company John Deere over recent mass layoffs at factories in Iowa and Illinois, arguing the company's healthy profits, lavish handouts to investors, and exorbitant CEO pay give the lie to claims that the job cuts and outsourcing were necessary. In recent weeks, John Deere has laid off an estimated 1,500 U.S. workers as part of what the company has described as a broader effort to “control costs.“ Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss these layoffs and how layoffs at companies like Deere can ruin entire communities and how unions claiming they will “fight back” will likely do nothing of the kind.
