We are still at a 9.5 schedule with April 5th, 2008 being a production Saturday for both shifts.  The re-rating of the line should be completed plant wide by April 21st.

The special attrition program will conclude on May 22nd.  Interested employees must apply by midnight on that day.

We are still transferring new members from other GM/Delphi facilities.  By April 1st we should have 150 transferred members.   We are still looking for approximately 150 more employees.  In addition, we have 102 temporary employees working as of April 1, 2008.

The Shop Committee is meeting daily on local negotiations with very little progress at this time.

The next scheduled union meeting will be April 19, 2008 at 2:00 p.m.  Plan on attending.  Buckle up and be safe.

Your Shop Chairman,
John Melton
