    The plant was torn down for the most part in the 1980s, and a historical plaque about the Strike was left on the site.

    A revolutionary chapter in U.S. Labor History. The sit-down strike was the original OCCUPY.

    4300 South Saginaw is the site of the marker, I think, but there are 1-2 more on the 300 block of South Chevrolet Avenue.

      malleymyster The plant isn't there any more. Is was close to where Kettering University is now. If you look at a map of the area around kettering you'll notice open field areas and thats where the plant was.
