Actually, the move is a good move for both Harley Davidson and their workers. The plan is to manufacture all the parts and components in Milwaukee, crate them and ship them to India for final assembly. That way, the "Indians" would not have to face a 60% markup on the sticker price because of import taxes. So it's a win-win situation, quite possibly an increase in productivity because now it'll be easier to sell in an emerging market. :) |
