I started high school (trade school) in 1974. Very different world back then. There were 7 different trades: Automotive, Building Technology (my major), Electronics, Metallurgy, Mechanical Technology, and Photolithography. I was lucky that I found something I enjoyed, and found work in the...
Now we understand why the Chinese companies found it easier to hire barefoot children and chain them to the workbench, paying $4 for 15 hour days (kidding.... a little bit).
Are you able to find guys who can just put down the hood and weld, or do you end up training them instead? It sucks that nobody is learning to weld in high schools anymore. It's easier to teach someone (who was raised using computers), to program a water jet table or a cnc machine than it is to...

You mean like dealing with Ford to fix your F-150 cam phasers, right? I'm pretty sure that the Gigapress will get sorted out before the UAW union is. And, it will never go on strike and halt production, like auto workers have done for decades.
Years ago, there was a photo released of auto...
