MTPwife Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Been hearing that one of the components will run out by the end of the week because they may not be able to get a new supply from Europe because of the volcanic eruption causing havoc with flights. Anyone else hear this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtp96 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 WAP is supposed to be off next week due to this. Was told last night by committee man that we are off next week and they canceled our May 10th lay off week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FemInstaller Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) what parts are they? will it affect any other plants? Auto Alliance had production cancelled for Wednesday and Thursday. They were told that a chip for the PCM comes from Australia and is sent to the vendor in Tennessee that builds the parts. I also understand that Kentucky Truck uses the same chip. On the 11pm WDIV newscast they reported that WAP will be laid off next week due to parts issues caused by the volcano. They also stated as in a previous post that it will replace a previously scheduled layoff week.
