GM to shut Ohio SUV plant 2 years ahead of plan
DETROIT General Motors is ending production of its slow-selling mid-sized
SUVs on Dec. 23, two years earlier than announced in June.
GM is pulling ahead the closure of its Moraine, Ohio, assembly plant because of market
conditions, said GM spokesman Chris Lee.
Moraine builds the Chevrolet TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer SS, GMC Envoy and Envoy Denali and Saab 9-7X.
In June, GM said it would close Moraine in 2010 or sooner, Lee said. The
closing will idle about 1,100 hourly workers represented by the IUE-CWA
electrical workers union. An additional 100 salaried employees work there,
Lee said.
Lee said negotiations are under way with the union to determine whether
workers would be offered buyouts and retirement incentives that were
offered to employees in June.
