Wackenhut Marks Ten Years Of Quality Service At Saturn Corporation Plants
    PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Aug. 5 -- The Wackenhut Corporation
, a global provider of security-related services, is marking the
tenth anniversary of its partnership with Saturn Corporation as the supplier
of fire, emergency and security services at Saturn plants in Tennessee and
Michigan.
    In a ceremony at the Spring Hill, TN plant on July 31, the Wackenhut
Corporation paid special recognition to all of its employees, including fifty-
five (55) who have worked for Wackenhut at Saturn since 1990. Representatives
from Saturn Corporation and other Saturn team members including the United
Auto Workers and United Plant Guard Workers also attended.  A similar ceremony
will be held at the Troy, Michigan plant on August 8.
    Alan Bernstein, executive vice president of The Wackenhut Corporation and
president of its North American Operations Group, said at the Spring Hill
ceremony, "Wackenhut aspires to provide the highest quality personnel and
services throughout the world.  Our partnership with Saturn is one of our
proudest accomplishments, particularly since we continually measure up to the
stringent Saturn criteria for quality and received the Saturn Outstanding
Achievement Award for superior performance in the areas of quality and service
for the past three years.  Only 5 percent of Saturn's suppliers measure up to
these high standards each year, and we are extremely proud to be a member of
this distinguished group."
    John Krysakowski, Wackenhut's vice president, corporate development, and
primary executive for the Saturn partnership said, "The credit for our
company's success at Saturn belongs with the quality job performance by the
employees and our extremely high rate of employee retention." He also
presented a token of Wackenhut's appreciation to Ray Seibold, Kent Spaulding
and Curt Stone, who represented Saturn.
