Keith Wilson's Portland Drives 375 Daimler Jobs To Carolinas

Daimler — maker of the Freightliner truck — is pulling its manufacturing plant out of Portland, Oregon and relocating to North and South Carolina, taking 375 union jobs with it. It's the kind of headline that barely registers surprise anymore: another major employer quietly exits a city that keeps making itself uncompetitive.Portland Mayor Keith Wilson now presides over a business climate that is steadily hollowing out the city's industrial base. High taxes, an openly hostile regulatory posture, and years of political instability have produced an exodus that no amount of press releases can paper over. Daimler isn't alone — the Carolinas didn't recruit these jobs because they're better at manufacturing. They won them because Oregon kept losing them.For the 375 workers at that plant, this isn't an abstraction. These are skilled manufacturing jobs — the kind that anchor families, neighborhoods, and local economies. When a Freightliner plant closes, the ripple hits suppliers, small businesses, and the tax base that funds the schools. Portland's governing class will move on to the next agenda item. The workers won't.Actions have consequences.
