You know what happens when u assume… TRW offered the weekend workforce and some took them up on it. We never got a chance to discuss concessions, the company never brought to light what they wanted and we never got a chance to find out…As far as cheap labor “u get what u pay for” (china). I worked with many quality conciencious people, myself being one of them. I didnt want ot loose my job!!! Our own union even sold us out, so both parties are to blame. Thanks to Our Union Presidents. present and past. I’d love to name all the name’s but one was City Council President John Booth. And u see how much he helped us…

It has the who, what where and when eloquently put into twelve words, but the main thing that is missing is the why… I guess the automotive industry is not doing so well? I feel badly for all of the families affected by the closing. My thoughts and prayers are with them!

I don’t suppose the increased electrical rates have a positive effect for new manufactoring jobs here; do they?
