See GM contract; Parma GM plant could close


Although no decision yet has been made, this report from the Associated Press via Ohio News Now says that the General Motors stamping plant in Parma, Ohio would be allowed to be shutdown under the contract agreed to last week:

According to a detailed copy of the agreement, several other facilities could also close, including a small powertrain operation in Parma, Ohio.

The document says no future powertrain products will be allocated to Parma, which also has a stamping operation that will continue with new generation products.

The moves contrast with job security pledges that the UAW negotiated, including commitments for new products at 16 plants. About 74,000 hourly GM workers will vote on the pact starting this week, with a final tally due by October 10th.

The information came to light after GM worker, Gregg Shotwell, posted contract details in an Internet newsletter he writes and can also be seen in parts here. This article from Future of the Union contains more specifics.
