Nic’s Reviews > Punching Out: One Year in a Closing Auto Plant > Status Update

Started "Punching Out" by Paul Clemens as he follows the year after the Budd Company stamping plant on Detroit’s East Side, closed in 2006. One chapter in, he paints a picture of just how large the automotive industry was in Detriot and what a labor intensive process it was to "Stamp" parts out for the assembly plants. Almost all of this has been replaced by automation and outsourced for cheaper labor.
