Скачать или смотреть Customers at the Starlite Diner react to closing of Delphi East in Flint

A Mid-Michigan auto plant is closing its doors. Delphi Flint East will end production by November. This is GM's last remaining Delphi Plant. There used to be thousands of workers. There are 287 workers that will be affected by the plant closing.

The plant is operated by Delphi, but the workers are from GM. They are represented by the UAW Local 651.

Last week, UAW Local 651 members approved a strike authorization. That passed with 72% voting yes. The vote gave employees a chance to strike if GM didn't agree to negotiate.

The plant makes parts for the Chevy Silverado. Now according to union leaders, those parts are going to be Made in Mexico. This comes on the heels of another GM plant closing, the Grand Blanc Weld Tool Center.

Wednesday morning people at the Starlite Diner, located across from the Delphi Flint East plant, responded to the news of the closure.
