Not much news from NUMMI headquarters

I talked to a UAW coordinator, a NUMMI employee and an official for it’s largest Fremont-based supplier. They didn’t say much.
Mark Johnson, a UAW, Local 2244 coordinator said he’s been instructed to “give a no comment.” He added that NUMMI and the union have contract talks scheduled for Sunday, but wouldn’t say it they were on how to wind down the operation or reach a new deal. “Everything is up in the air right now,” he said.
As for the Wingard Quality Supply official, he said I’d have to talk to NUMMI.

We’re sure lucky that only 12% of NUMMI’s staff live in Fremont (I say this judiciously because that’s 600 people). I’m willing to bet every city in the region, including cities in the Valley are each home to 5-10% of NUMMI’s staff. It will be painful, but it certainly seems that the pain will be spread through the greater Bay Area.
