This got sent around at my work since the plant I work at makes the computer chips for GM’s Onstar. I guess they figured we’d call our congressmen.
WRONG!
Knox Machinery sells Japanese stuff...another tool for the Japanese...no principle here...just plain old self serving guy-GM won’t buy these parts as they have suppliers in the US. Since you work in America making chips for GM I suppose you know this. Also, this guy is a former supplier...as for calling your congressman...your industry is in real trouble...did you listen to Fox Business News? It’s a terrible time to be out of work...oh and nothing like screwing your customers.
Thanks for the information. I’ll pass it around in February at GM. Your plant should not be that hard to identify...GM needs to know how their suppliers really feel...perhaps more loyal suppliers are needed.
