WINDSOR, Ont. (AP) — Workers at the Essex aluminum plant in Windsor, Ont., are being told the facility will be shut down in 2009.
The plant is a joint venture between Ford of Canada and Nemak of Canada Corp., which produces cylinder heads.
Vince says this latest setback in the Canadian auto industry will have a ripple effect throughout the Windsor-Essex area.
He says the loss of good paying jobs affects everyone from suppliers to the people who operate small businesses.
