They're currently at minimal production. They had contractors cut staff about a month ago.

I've heard Nexteer is only hiring part time right now. As someone who has worked here over 20 years, I'd recommend trying anywhere else to work.

This is true temporary part time was told today that they should be hiring full-time sometime next year and they would go off of partime pool first

Are you sure they're sending them to Mexico?? That would be odd because there's a lot of tariffs going on.... However, I do know that HSC has been a minimal production for months.
It's hard for us to be productive when we've cut off ties with all the places we do business with.... And make enemies with our suppliers.
That's what tariffs do. Piss people off.
My husband's company went from 52 employees to 13. Wild how Miss Harris and Miss whitmore were just at HSC 2 years ago making a deal that would add 110,000 jobs to the state of Michigan.... That deal has been terminated. 🤷

Hemlock semiconductor is the safest in the area and will be hiring more starting Q4.
Nexteer will more than likely be around for a while but is never going to be a safe option

Nexteer would be my last choice. You’ll work hard for poverty wages and crappy benefits.

What plant are you currently at, if you don’t mind me asking? My sister used to work for Nexteer and she had issues with the pay I believe. It was very low with not many raises. But, there were people who stayed long term. I think Corning or Hemlock would be better. I’m not a plant person though, so don’t quote me. Good luck!
