M ai W ashington holds a C 02 gun. ona of the tools she uses as a
w e ld a r a t C hryslar C o rp o ratio n 's Lynch Road A ss em b ly P lan t in
D etroit. She was voted bast w eld er by her classmates in a training class
held during last sum m er's renovation of the Lynch Road Plant.
Woman welder builds cars
Mai Washington is one o f the best
welders at Chrysler C orporation's
Lynch Road Assembly Plant in
Detroit. When she was growing up in
Ripley, Tennessee, she was deter
mined to be a success. Today, she is
helping b u ild the all-new 1979
Chrysler New Yorker and Newport,
and Dodge St. Regis cars.
To become one of the best welders
at the Lynch Road Plant Mai volun
teered for special training to upgrade
welding skills, and she is now
qualified fo r advancement in her
department. The training was o f
fered by Chrysler during the plant's
renovation last summer.
Mai received an award at the end
o f the training fo r being the best
welder in her class o f ten people. Her
classmates (all male) voted her the
best welder in their group.
Mai worked extra duty to become
the best in her class. She cut short her
lunch hours to study welding. She
also skipped her breaks to practice
the new skills she was learning. A t
the end o f the training Mai qualified
in brazing, and CO2 and arc-gas
welding. When asked why she volun
teered for the training, she said, “ I
went into it with the ambition o f
doing something for myself, and I
• • • • • • • •
did. The training was one o f the
greatest things Chrysler could ever
do.”
Mai worked as a meat-handler in a
D etroit supermarket while waiting
fo r an opening at C hrysler. Her
chance came through a program
funded by the Comprehensive Em
ployee Training Act (C ETA). She
spent six months learning the basics
o f spot w elding at C h rysle r’ s
Technical Center in Highland Park.
A fte r her C E T A tra in in g , M ai
worked a year as a spot welder at
Lynch Road Assembly before taking
the advanced training last summer.
Why would a young woman want
to be a welder? Mai says one reason
is the money she makes. There is also
the feeling o f accomplishment, and,
as she says, “ I t ’ s a good trade.
Nobody can take it away from you.”
The Lynch Road Plant is now
open and producing quality cars.
M ai W ashington is helping build
those cars using the skills she learned
during her special training last sum
mer. When asked how it feels to be in
a job that doesn’t have many women
applicants, she says, “ A couple o f
the men tried to ju td o me in the
training, but that just made me work
harder.”
