Morning!
From what I was told last night, FoMoCo will open up 1 plant in Monroe Michigan to make parts for ventilators. The plastic molded housings and lcd/led screens will be made there, shipped to another plant 5 miles away for final assembly. Not sure where other components are coming from. 3M just leased a place in Monroe, MI to assemble the ventilators. GM will provide conveyor lines and some tradesmen. FCA supposedly will handle the freight between the buildings since they already have a depot in Monroe. The people assembling the ventilators will be, you guessed it, temp workers from a temp agency, $10.00hr according to an advertisement some seen in a local paper and Detroit news. Good luck with getting people to work for $10hr. The UAW is saying they should be offered $20.00 to start with benefits on day 1 since this is a national emergency. I agree with the UAW. I'm checking to see if this information is accurate later today.
