OPENING CASE
Swingline Stapler
In 1925, Jack Linsky built a stapler factory in New York where he hired immigrants from everywhere.
Linsky’s workers liked him and with their hard work the company prospered until 1987 when he sold it for
$210 million.
But globalization and WTO agreements in 1995 began allowing foreign companies to freely import and sell
their copycat staplers in the US.
By 1997, the company was struggling to compete against these companies whose labor costs were much
lower than its own.
In 2000, the company fired all of its workers at its New York plant, closed the factory and moved its
operations to Nogales, Mexico (cheap labor, import into US without paying import tariffs).
In 2010, the Swingline factory again fired all its workers, closed its Nogales factory, and contracted to have
a Chinese factory make it staplers.
