GM said the assembly plants that will close are in Oklahoma City, Lansing, Mich., Spring Hill, Tenn

We have two operating assembly plants is Lansing now,
the new Cadillac plant which just opened 3-4 years ago.
Also small plant that makes specialty cars like the Chevy SSR

We have another assembly plant that is currently under construction with 2006 production scheduled

So possibly the small SSR plant.
We do have a parts plant also.....hmmmmmm I wonder but I imagine its the small plant

Saturn plant is in Spring Hill

They're giving people plenty of notice if the plants won't be closed until 2007. Perhaps some can move to the non-union plants that are operating in the south.

Unions are totally to blame, management is the good guys, always. Lock the doors and let the Chinese do it for 80 cents an hour.

There are 32-36,000 employees that are at, or past, the retirement point of "30 years and out." If GM could convince those people to leave it would help out immensely, but the UAW (may a pox be on them), will cry foul. Major weeping & wailing will soon be rising out of the UAW meeting rooms. They'd rather sacrifice the able-bodied for the able-voters.

I owned a GM car once, a used GTO in 1973.

Ping to another example of the "American Worker" attempting to drive a great company into bankruptcy.
