Many of the mechanical switches has and will be moved out of the United States to Mexico and Taiwan effecting more than 300 workers at this time and more in the near future. The HR Manager (Lynn Smith) has done a very good job working with the Union and coordinating this effort with the State Job and Family Services along with the Department of Labor. Lear Corporation bought out the United Technology Corporation's (UTC) Division of the Automotive Group in May of 1999 and has struggled to make profits in many locations in the U.S. since then. The Zanesville Plant has made mechanical and electrical Automotive input controls since 1963 when the Machinists Local Lodge 1628 was first chartered and is only one of four plants left in the electronics division after it has closed many of its plants in the U.S. For more information on this subject, go to the website listed below. |
