Saginaw never had an assembly plant - at least not in the modern era. We did have about a dozen Tier 1 suppliers plus some Tier 2 and 3 suppliers. At the peak in the 70's there were ten of thousands of union auto workers. Today about 4,000 remain. 375 work at Saginaw Metal Casting making engine blocks (peak employment 6,846) and about 3,500 at Nexteer. (Formerly GM's Saginaw Steering Gear, then Delphi Steering, now Nexteer)
