This is going to be BAD you don't want to be stuck in a city next week koffing. Except the other companies are fine. This is gm restructuring. Ford is also restructuring and going to be tossing people, and don't forget they already previously announced they were going to stop selling cars in the US except for the Mustang and Focus Active, and then went and canceled the Focus Active because of the tariffs. And don't forget this doesn't only impact the GM plants, it also impacts any company/supplier that does parts/materials for them as well. --- https://imgur.com/bbRWLI8 https://imgur.com/A0BErSV https://imgur.com/7fCcfko <cite>Bio1590 posted [p:913072247] in GM stoppin...

Antifar 11/26/18 2:34:52 PM #56:	Anybody suggesting this is a climate decision should know that GM is shifting towards trucks and SUVs as people increasingly buy them. https://apnews.com/3e51216360e14053ae3e4b3461db615b General Motors will cut up to 14,000 workers in North America and put five plants up for possible closure as it abandons many of its car models and restructures to cut costs and focus more on autonomous and electric vehicles. The reduction includes about 8,000 white-collar employees, or 15 percent of GMs North American white-collar workforce. Some will take buyouts while others will be laid off. At the factories, around 3,300 blue-collar workers could lose jobs in Canada and another 2,600 in the U.S., but some U.S. workers could transfer to truck or SUV factories that are increasing production. The company also said it will stop operating two additional factories outside North America by the end of next year, in addition to a previously announced plant closure in Gunsan, Korea. The restructuring reflects the changing U.S. and North American auto markets as a dramatic shift away from cars toward SUVs and trucks continues. In October, almost 65 percent of new vehicles sold in the U.S. were trucks or SUVs. It was about 50 percent cars just five years ago. GM is shedding cars largely because it doesnt make money on them, Citi analyst Itay Michaeli wrote in a note to investors. We estimate sedans operate at a significant loss, hence the need for classic restructuring, he wrote. General Motors Co.s pre-emptive strike to get leaner before the next downturn likely will be followed by Ford Motor Co., which has said it is restructuring and will lay off an unspecified number of white-collar workers. Toyota Motor Corp. also has discussed cutting costs, even though its building a new assembly plant in Alabama. GM isnt the first to abandon much of its car market. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles got out of small and midsize cars two years ago, while Ford announced plans to shed all cars but the Mustang sports car in the U.S. in the coming years. Shares of GM, the largest automaker in the U.S. which sells the Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC brands, rose nearly 6 percent on the news to $37.93 in midday trading Monday. That's the exact opposite of what a climate decision would look like. --- kin to all that throbs <cite>Antifar posted [p:913072724] in GM stoppin...

Questionmarktarius 11/26/18 4:46:35 PM #94:	Work will stop, but plants will not officially close. The future of those facilities will be determined during 2019 negotiations with the United Auto Workers. Most likely a retooling over the next few months or so, then a recall for any employee that hasn't wandered off elsewhere. It's not exactly easy for a factory to change from one model to another. Even year-end model changes usually shut down the lines for a month or so. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:913079642] in GM stoppin...
