Who is responsible for the incentive for Maytag to move to Mexico?
The consumers: people always looks for cheaper products, so many companies need to reduce costs unless they risk getting out of business. Countries like China or Mexico have much lower wages so these companies typically close their factories in the US and move to these countries.
Why have Canada and us put more factories in Mexico?
The United States and Canada are highly developed countries, while Mexico is not. This means a worker in the US would earn some 30-40 USD$/hour, while in Mexico the same worker would earn just 5-6 USD$/hour. This wage difference means a lot in savings for American and Canadian companies, who then "offshore" their production to Mexico and other countries with lower wages, such as Vietnam or China.
What responsibility if any do American businesses operating in Mexico have to protect the personal safety of their employees?
Foreign employers operating in Mexico have the same responsibility toward their employees as do Mexican employers. All are subject to the Mexican health and safety regulations, which as written, are similar to those of the United States. American companies sending American employees to Mexico on business will not get their business accomplished if they do not recognize that they have a responsibility to inform and guide their employees in avoiding unsafe actions and locations while in Mexico. Insurance considerations if nothing else, will impose a responsibility on such American companies.
