The automotive industry is not located solely in Detroit. Workers at General Motors Corp.’s sport-utility vehicle plant in the Dayton suburb of Moraine are working their last day at the factory. About 1,080 hourly workers are employed at the plant.
And across the border in Indiana, Kokomo, with four Chrysler plants employing about 5,000 workers, helps support numerous auto parts suppliers, including Delphi Corp., an auto electronics supplier that has about 3,100 Kokomo employees.
Marion Mayor Wayne Seybold, whose city has a GM plant that employs 1,200 and has numerous suppliers, said he was relieved that Bush “stood up” and offered the loans to GM and Chrysler.
Just another example of the ripple effect.
Namaste.
