Hearing that downtime for both plants very real chance next week...dies being sent to other plants. Apparently, in Ford management wisdom, they decided to give the press downtime work to someone other then Schuler because it was bid 15% cheaper...and it goes without saying...you get what you pay for! Someone should lose a job over this one.

Hmmmm Something must be going on. Buffalo blew one up last week almost shut LAP down they finally got it going. They make our door inners and we ran out for a few hours finally got some in wed night. Nobody noticed it but the door line since we were about 1000 doors ahead.

I know they use it for SD door skins. We ran a lot several years ago when I was loaned to Stamping for a couple of weeks.

I got a call from my supervisor last night to come in today and cut out 80 Nav's and Exp's from body. Then got a call at 4:40am it was cancelled. Could mean one of three things : 1) they have enough of the parts from stamping to run Monday: or, 2) the press is working and we're back to normal production;or, 3) they decided it wasn't worth it and will cancel the week's production
