I don't know of any temps at our plant. I haven't seen any since before X-mas. I think there might have been a communication breakdown between chairman's. I also don't know about the 10-12 hours. It is really slow at Woodhaven, as slow as I've ever seen it!

We do not have anyone on TLO anymore! After the buy-outs ended, everyone that was on TLO either went back to production or went on idefinite lay-off. As far as the land in front of Woodhaven, they sold it! They built a Lowe's and they are building a Kohls. There supposed to build some more stuff like restaurants and maybe even a strip mall.

Does anyone know when they will start selling the new 08' Bullitt and if they are taking orders for them? I want one and don't want to miss my chance at one. Only 7000 made for America.

Does anyone know anything about the status of the Machine Repair trade? I'm from Woodhaven Stamping and we have 14 M/R either cut-back, laid-off or in Gen. We've been hearing that Dearborn might have openings. If anyone has heard anything please reply! Thanks!

Your wording is so good, very easy to read! Its hard to make sense of what your posting!

Why would you want to go to Maumee? Aren't they closing?

Machine Repair!

We have no temps. We heard they are bringing some Tool and Die from your plant to ours, they are coming with the work.

What trade are you?

Yes Woodhaven has trades on layoff! I'm a tradesmen that is on ILO. What plant are you from? What trades are you sending to Woodhaven? My understanding is that while we have guys on ILO, we can't except people!

Apparently we didn't get enough trades to take the buyout! Thats what they told us. Even though we've almost cut are plant population by a third! I think we've had almost 500 people leave.

The layoff was machine repair, millright, electrician, pipefitter. All the trades got hit except tool and die.

Was it Wayne Stamping or Woodhaven Stamping? One article said Woodhaven another mentioned Wayne. Does anybody know for sure? I didn't think Wayne Stamping was a seperate facility. I thought it was included with the Assembly! You never here of Wayne Stamping when you talk about the stampers! You've got Chicago, Buffalo, Woodhaven, Maumee and Walton Hills.

Does anyone know how many people have signed up for the buyout at Woodhaven Stamping? Also, do they want to have a certain number from all classifications go, or do they just want a set total number? If so, what is that number? Will there be ILO's if they don't get there number?
