GM to cut second shift, 1,300 jobs at Detroit-Hamtramck

[Roland99]

Source: The Detroit News

General Motors Co. plans to cut the second shift and nearly 1,300 jobs from its Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant in March, the automaker told the state in a filing Monday.

The Detroit automaker said eliminating the second shift will result in the layoffs of 1,192 GM permanent and temporary workers, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) filing with the state. Layoffs may start around March 5.

The filing comes as the automaker seeks to trim inventory levels that are its highest in eight years and as consumers have shifted away from cars and toward trucks and SUVs. At the end of November, GM had a 105-day supply of cars, nearly double the amount analysts consider a healthy supply.

...

The layoffs also include nearly 80 more workers at GM Manufacturing Subsystems LLC, a subsidiary of GM that does work for the plant.

4. Don't think he will give a rats' ass about this.

It's not in Indiana or NY so I predict crickets is all we will hear from him about this. OR, he could give them a bunch of money, knowing it changes nothing, and lie about the jobs saved like he did with Carrier. He's the lie a minute man, after all.

A friend of my nieces ordered a new Subaru after her car was wrecked, it took several weeks for it to be sent here from overseas. There was none in the US inventory that matched what she wanted. http://www.cars101.com/

9. Well, the 11.2 Billion dollars the government lost on GM over the last 10 years during the "bailout"

would have been enough to allow EACH of these 1300 workers to make 100K a year for the next 86 years.
