Why is this sad. The "American" equipment we use has concepts, Mathematics, Engineering and designs that are from around the world.

Do they have Process Improvement personnel?

It's not located in Detroit

@@crs5500 no different than the suburbanites claiming to be from Detroit, while they live in Oakland County. Dearborn and Detroit are basically synonymous anyway. At least the eastern part of Dearborn

Sucks about the jobs that were lost. Hopefully conditions improve and maybe they’ll consider restarting the mills. I’ve been a 2 stand 4 high cold mill operator at an aluminum plant for 16 years. Rolling aluminum sheet coils for building and construction markets, commercial cookware, license plates, etc. 🤙🏻

@@djhaloeight A few that were thinking about retiring did just that. Everyone else went to other buildings. The whole plant was short staffed before closing HSM and CM. Some trades chose to go to the newly created mobile maintenance and crane repair departments. I went to utilities.

This is really quite sad.

Y section 3695 worked overtime in h10 h9 j5 j6 k2 k4 x2 x3 x5 x4 . Worked all cranes in annealing including the one in this video known as w6. Skinpass cranes z3 z5 z1 the old shipping cranes and new shipping cranes band yard cranes sy3 and sy2 I put in the upgrades to hotsrip hm8 and tore out the old downender and conveyor put in the new coil handling system when the pltcm came online annealing had 2 tandem mills dumping steel on us. Everything I knew and worked they shut down severstal canceled our 30 years and out pension . They split the cold mill in 2 . Ak cliffs left us without the capability to ever produce our own coils again we can no longer be a stand alone mill . Someone else would have to buy us and build a new hotsrip because from what I know the hotsrip in this video has been partially tore apart .

​@mosesmarlboro5401 it is really sad I still walk through some of those areas and remember all the people and the work we put in to keep producing we was like a dysfunctional family and seen more of our coworkers then our own families the amount of people who raised there families in these abandoned areas I can't even imagine how many people went through there. We all got split up into different buildings . It is true we was all short handed and most just got relocated but it's the number of jobs lost that will never be filled that other people could of hired into and raised there families with . The disrespect other companies had when coming in and dismantling history of the ford rouge plant. They could left it all alone and used it as part of the tour from Henry for museum. Old pickle lines and tandem mill looks like a war zone and it looks like it hasn't ran for 50 years

Haha, nice loops in your ears..

Talks of shutting down that hotsrip started about 8 months before covid my opinion is they used the stimulus check to there benefit and while people was already laid off due to covid . They refused sub pay because of the stimulus. As far as annealing temper mill "skinpass" goes when they shut down batch annealing years ago sealed it's fate . The hydrogen bases was not enough to keep the skinpass running 40 hours a week. We went from supplying that skinpass for 3 shifts 10 years ago to only supplying enough with hydrogen annealing to run skinpass maybe 30 hours . Cost of using outside contractors to move coils from new mill into old building on top of 3 shifts of workers in annealing and the 1 shift on skinpass that can only get about 30 hours a week of actual run time that's not feasible. The cost of energy for batch annealing shut down natural gas nitrogen and hydrogen prices got to high 10 years ago. Those batch bases many of them was built in the 1940's some was in the late 1960's they was energy hogs . Wasn't covid it was all on borrowed time at that point already. Along with all that it was mismanaged and nothing done to reduce costs there decisions made only increased costs

Lost my job in the hot strip last March, just got a call back today to work again in the pltcm

I went from annealing and bid into band yard annealing looked as if it was gonna get shut down so went to band yard "t-section" thinking as long as hotsrip was running I had a job ironically they closed both down at same time when that hotmill actually ran fast on all 3 stoves if they didn't have a break down they could send band yard a lot of black bands fast . Kinda hard to keep up with tonnage goals when Middletown was taking all our slabs. I relocated to A section shipping

What the fuck??
