  Jim Zawacki, the owner of GR Spring & Stamping, an auto supplier based in Grand Rapids, Mich., has had to lay off a third of his workforce, slash the workweek from 40 to 32 hours, give up his company car and take an 80 percent salary cut. But he has been able to pick up business from other competitors that have gone under. He said he could start hiring if business that has been booked for later in the year comes through. "As long as [customers] don't cancel or slow down . . . we should start seeing [improvement] in September," he said.

  Still, Grand Rapids Spring and Stamping owner Jim Zawacki has been recognized for keeping his business afloat, as he was just named Michigan's Manufacturer of the Year. And that's due in part to the company's ability to diversify; parts production for what was the Big Three now only makes up 20 percent of their business.
  
  Still, that doesn't make the bankruptcy news any easier to swallow.
  
  "GM was the mighty company, and to see them file for bankruptcy scares a lot of people," Zawacki told Newschannel 3.

  Even after President Barack Obama did his best to reassure a nation worried about the economy, West Michigan manufacturing executive Jim Zawacki remains skeptical.
  ...
  "I don't think our elected officials understand what could happen if General Motors goes out of business," said Zawacki, chairman and chief executive officer of Grand Rapids Spring & Stamping, a parts firm closely tied to the auto industry.
  
  "I am scared for my grandchildren," he said.

  Ehlers echoed the concerns of Zawacki and Levy on the fate of the domestic auto industry.

  Grand Rapids Spring & Stamping Chairman and CEO Jim Zawacki agrees.
  
  But his focus is on trade policy and saving blue-collar jobs at his auto parts plant. Zawacki asserts it is past time to give U.S. companies a level playing field.
  
  "I would like to have a trade policy equal to our industrial partners. If they have a tariff, we should have a tariff," Zawacki said.
  
  "We do such crazy things in this country. We talk about free trade and then subsidize agriculture."
  
  In September, Zawacki was giving out bonuses to some of his 225 employees. Two months later, he was scrambling to cut costs, as he took an 80 percent pay cut, full-time employees went to part-time and others were laid off.
  
  Zawacki believes the auto industry can survive, but only with some changes.
  
  "If we want to compete with China and the rest of the world, our wages have to be reasonable," he said.
