not good

Quote:
U.S. auto supplier American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc is set to close the largest axle plant in its Detroit-area manufacturing complex and move production to Mexico, a United Auto Workers union official said on Tuesday.

"People are very upset about losing their jobs," said UAW Local 235 President Bill Alford. "They're very upset that a company with the word 'American' in its name is moving jobs to Mexico."

What a disaster the City of Hamtramck is going to have on their hands when all of those people get laid off. American Axle is a life line in that community.

Michigan residents should fight for Michigan to become right-to-work so it can pick up auto factory jobs from VW, Toyota and Nissan as they continue to put Americans to work in plants they build.
