MTP'er Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Old Wayne plant will be used for Ford's new hybrid they plan on building in years to come to compete with Toyota Prius I don't know were you got your info from but thats not the case . Half of the old wayne plant are kit jobs and the other half is going to be used for stamping. If you look at the sign out on Michigan Ave it in front of the old wayne plant it sez stamping. 2 new presses are going in, in the next 2 years and the rest will be stamping and subs. Plus there going to expand ISA to take up half of the parking lot and part of the land east of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzymoomoo Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN0GK28K20140820?irpc=932 Most news outlets have no clue Wayne assembly was closed and replaced by Michigan Truck (now Michigan Assembly) even Detnews and Freep get it wrong all the time.

diggerjuly Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I have heard on and off the National Parts would close. This has been going on for years. Just yesterday someone from National told me it was a done deal and they would close at end of year. Anyone hear anything about this...............? Their trades are down to bear minimum, I millwright, 1 welder, no machine repair, no electricians............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonj80 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Is Woodhaven still open? Drove by this past weekend going to cedar point and the building and water tower are rusting and didn't see any trucks driving around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Still open. Still running parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfan Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 :)Hopefully with the Local 387 president on the national bargaining committee Woodhaven will get more work this contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Anybody else notice that the water tower was just repainted? I doubt they would do that if they planed on closing or selling the plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they would do that if they planed on closing or selling the plant. My wife pointed it out when she was leaving work yesterday (she works in that complex near wal-mart). I generally don't take 75 to get home so I didn't notice. I'll look after work tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlecountry Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Anybody else notice that the water tower was just repainted? I doubt they would do that if they planed on closing or selling the plant. Now that is some funny shit!!' They spent money on paint yea plant staying open! They spent millions at Norfolk building a stacker and announced we were closing just about the same time it was completed!!! So you think a fresh coat of paint on a water tower could signal a plant is not shutting down! You guys in skilled trades need to come out of the card playing room you hide in your loosing your mind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Don't play cards, thanks. Look for some investments in the plant announced in the contract too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlecountry Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Don't play cards, thanks. Look for some investments in the plant announced in the contract too. Look for a fresh coat of paint at the Ford plant you work at and that will signal that you have nothing to worry about!!!! LMFAO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Look for a fresh coat of paint at the Ford plant you work at and that will signal that you have nothing to worry about!!!! LMFAO I got a sneak peek of the investments in Woodhaven. It would have been classy of me to not bring this back up, but I'm just not that guy. So here it is. I told you so. I'll wait for your apology until after the details are out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballfan Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 It's official now that the contract summary is out. $300 million for conversion to a hot metal forming facility! Congrats to Woodhaven. It would have been a shame for it to have become another Wixom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTP'er Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Did you look at the pay scale of the new area at Woodhaven? Same as Rawsonville & Sterling below 2nd tier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downtime1 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Did you look at the pay scale of the new area at Woodhaven? Same as Rawsonville & Sterling below 2nd tier. Instead of "bridging the gap" like the IUAW claimed they were going to they just created another tier... So much for listening to the members.

Footballfan Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 In regards to the two pay gap at Woodhaven, from what I read in the contract book, it is just for the new hot metal lines. Traditional stamping work still done at the plant will be paid the full wage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodhaven44 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 One needs to read the white pages regarding legacy production workers at Woodhaven. They are considered surplus, and they plan to push them all out to other plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
