Spark plug operation moving to Mexico; up to 500 jobs to be lost - Toledo Blade, OH Officials of United Auto Workers Local 533, which represents workers at the firm's Autolite unit plant in Fostoria, said this week that company officials told them on Jan. 19 that the plant work force would be cut to 130 to 250 jobs as work begins shifting south. The factory, which opened more than 70 years ago, is the last spark plug maker in northwest Ohio. It makes plugs with Autolite and other labels. The average worker made about $20 an hour three years ago.
