In a report from the Macomb Daily, a worker at the Sterling Stamping Plant, died earlier this week after a machine fell onto him. The 2.74-million-square-foot plant located in the Detroit suburb of Sterling Heights, Michigan manufactures stampings and assemblies for a number of popular Stellantis vehicles including the Ram 1500, Ram 1500 Classic, Dodge Durango, Jeep® Grand Cherokee, Chrysler Pacifica, Chrysler Voyager, and Chrysler Grand Caravan.

Stamping and die cast plants are extremely dangerous places.

I worked at that plant back in the late 70's. I was a large press operator. Local 1264. I remember when I started how scary the large presses were. Once we were cleaning up the place for an inspection and the overhead crane would lift up a large die and people would walk under it and clean things. I thought no way am I walking under that. Then in those days it was not required to wear ear protection. Believe me a stamping plant is a place where you NEED ear protection. I graduated to Chrysler management after I got out of college. I always thought that it would be a good thing were managment to have actually worked at a plant as I did.
