Ford is in a position that it has to make a profit.  The American auto 
companies are in dire straights and much of the reason for this is the 
UAW.  Ford, GM and Chrysler can't get away from them so they have no 
choice but to leave the country to remain competitive.  The UAW has been 
****ing over Americans for decades.  Especially their own members.  They 
seem to not understand that the domestic auto makers can get by without 
the UAW but the UAW can't exist without the domestic automakers 
producing cars in the USA.
