GM Closing Plants

[wwchevy]

Typically most of the workers are high senority and will be offered buyouts and early retirement. Some remaining employees will be allowed to move to different plants, so not all of the people who work in these plants will "lose" their job. This is the result of $4.00 gas and new stricter CAFE regulations. GM will have to not build as many trucks and will build smaller cars with smaller engines to get the corporate fuel economy average to the government mandate. Look to congerss saving the environment as the cause of this. I say drill for oil in the US....and do it now!!!!
