June 24: Ford

For this week's Manufacturing Monday, I spent time with Ford at the Livonia Transmission Plant. The transmission engines built here sell all over the world. The plant employs an incredible labor force responsible for nearly 24/7 humming operations. This rich history of innovation, safety standards, and sheer talent led to a fruitful dialogue with one of our region's largest employers on the future of manufacturing and the dignity of labor.
