RE: DETROIT ELECTRO-COATIIVGS, CO., L.L.C./WARN ACT NOTIFICATION
On April 15,2008 the attached letter was either handed to and/or sent to the UAW #174. Beginning with the unforeseeable loss of our major job on one day's notice in October 2007, and now after months of unsuccessful quotes for work, and our failed attempt to secure, at contract expiration, labor cost reductions, the owners have decided to cease operations.
The Company had hoped all layoffs to date would be temporary and the layoff protections in the Union Agreement could serve as our guide for weathering the economic downturn. Adding to the trauma, the business environment has been devastated by suppliers' bankruptcies, i.e. Tower Automotive, Collins & Aikrnan, Oxford, Trim Trends, Visteon, Plastech, Midwest, Delphi and others - all of whom are in trouble. The multi-week American Axle strike has added to it. This is your WARN Act mass layoff and faltering company notice and your layoff will likely be permanent. For those still working, any layoff will be considered permanent. No bumping rights exist. Please contact me when or if you need more information or updates

Re: Detroit Electro-Coatings, Co., L.L.C. WARN ActJUAW Region 1 - M A W Local #I74
Gentlemen:
On April 14, 2008 our union contract has expired and we have failed to achieve the labor cost reductions necessary to justify continued operations which exist largely by using owner cash infusions from January 1,2008 to date.
The first critical event was the loss of our major job on one days' notice. In October, it was a shock to learn from Noble International that it would remove its work.
,-rk:.-_.!: --!?*acv.-c+ Came as a complete qnrCri,.e ,+rlr! 2:2r~J~~7kj~2,f,p2-u. lt!e considered -
any resulting layoff temporary and that the uilion contract would provide recall rights as provided in Article VII.
From there on, DEC has continuously quoted work, tried to take advantage of other's misfortunes, infused owner cash, and tried to bargain a lower bargaining unit
- wage and fringe status quo. ine cash drain, our faiiure to sec-n&tht*- negotiations at expiration have persuaded the Company to cease operations. The net result is that all current and future layoffs will be permanent,.
A seniority list is attached. It is the same list as provided in negotiations.
We will comply with any legal requirements including bargaining obligations.
All questions should be directed to the undersigned.
Very truly yours,
DETROIT ELECTRO-COATINGS CO., L.L.C n
