Whirlpool finally gets Maytag at $1.7 billion

"We don't think it will have any impact on our members in Michigan,"
said Stephen Sleigh, director of resources for the International Association
of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, which represents more than 200
Whirlpool employees in Benton Harbor.

"What we think this will mean for Maytag is that they will basically take
the Maytag production and move it to Mexico and China."
