As Delphi leaves Michigan for good, the UAW is saying goodbye to more jobs…
When General Motors employees leave work at the Delphi Flint East plant on Friday, Nov. 1, operations will cease at facility for good, and Delphi’s name will no longer be attached to any Michigan-based manufacturing facility.
UAW Local 651 President Art Reyes said he feels like this marks the end of Delphi’s manufacturing presence in America.
“Unfortunately, there is no more Delphi (in Michigan). There’s still the engineering facility down there on Crooks Road (in Troy), but Delphi will not have any further responsibility in (Michigan) for hourly employees,” Reyes said.
Meanwhile, the UAW is trying to coerce VW employees in Tennessee to join their union.
As the saying goes: Misery loves company.
