McCain responsible for the loss of thousands of jobs in Ohio

So how exactly has McCain cost Ohio thousands of jobs? Basically Senator McCain worked closely with Rick Davis, his current campaign manager and lobbyist for the foreign owned company DHL, the package delivery company. The lobbyist Rick Davis talked to his buddy McCain so that McCain could clear the way for foreign owned DHL to take over the American company Airborne Inc. Now DHL wants to outsource those Airborne Inc. jobs which just happen to be in Ohio. Way to go McCain!!!

Here are the details:

In recent days, Sen. McCain has been criticized by Democrats and local unions in this pivotal electoral state for his support five years ago of DHL's $1.05 billion acquisition of Airborne Inc., then the struggling No. 3 express delivery company in the U.S. behind FedEx Corp. and UPS. As part of the deal back then, DHL acquired Airborne's main air cargo operation, based in Wilmington, and thousands of the company's workers there. Sen. McCain's presidential campaign manager, Rick Davis, also worked at the time as a private lobbyist for DHL. Sen. McCain's and Mr. Davis's support for the 2003 deal was earlier reported by the Cleveland Plain Dealer this week.

In the past five years, DHL expansion in the U.S. soured, and the company lost billions of dollars. In May, the company announced a retrenchment, including plans to outsource most of its air cargo operations in the U.S. to rival UPS, eliminating about 8,000 Wilmington jobs.
