UPDATE: 9.26.2007 – Moraine, Ohio plant resumes production. Everything is back to normal.

Moraine Resumes Production

Updated 11:30 PM Wednesday September 26, 2007

Moraine Assembly has resumed production operations beginning with 2nd Shift TODAY, Wednesday, September 26, 2007.

————

All employees should report to work at their regular starting times.

I have just been notified that the assembly line at the GM Moraine, Ohio plant has been halted as of 11:30am this morning. This is a result of the UAW strike that is now causing a lack of parts due to the “just-in-time” delivery method used at most if not all plants.

I hope these two parties can reach an agreement soon that works for everyone.

Here is the official press release from the LOCAL IUE 798

GM Statement Regarding UAW Work Stoppage Impact on Parts Distribution

GM Service & Parts Operations has put processes in place to handle emergency orders. And we’re working with our carriers to ensure pick up and delivery of these products to our dealers.
