GM to cut another 1,100 jobs

General Motors is laying off 1,100 workers in Michigan -- the fourth layoff it's announced since November.

The company is eliminating the third shift at its Lansing Delta Township plant, which makes three SUVs built on the same platform -- the Chevrolet Traverse, the Buick Enclave and the GMC Acadia. But the new version of the Acadia is being built on a smaller platform, so production of that car moved to a Spring Hill, Tenn., plant last summer.

There are currently 3,144 workers at the Lansing plant. The workers who are keeping their jobs are pretty safe -- the company just invested $583 million in the plant to make the new generation of Traverses and Enclaves there.

GM has been scaling back production and employment due to lower U.S. sales.

So GM erased billions in obligations and screwed investors when it went backrupt in 2009. Now we're seeing a repeat performance, and they have been buying paper into the risky credit risk consumers to sell their junk.

Should have been allowed to crash in 2009

I cannot wait until the after effects of Obummer's presidency are finally out of our system and President Trump's actions can start making some progress. Obummer has destroyed our economy so badly that we will see some more job losses before President Trump's job gains start to show up.

And 6:20? You are just ignorant with that remark. Why would you not want the great strides that this country is going to make under President Trump?

Sales of new cars are down in certain models/ sizes. Those jobs will perk up in plants that are making the higher selling models. Trump is creating a lot of jobs

I'd like to see him MAGA but the opposite is happening. Obama bailed out some 240,000 jobs in 2007 or so. What's Trunp doing besides playing $3 million rounds of golf?

Exactly what jobs were created? I see no evidence whatsoever.

6:55 - you do realize the country had 70+ months of job growth under Obama, right? Or are you one of those people who dismiss facts inconvenient to your argument?

Trump has been POTUS for what, 6 weeks? You expect the economy to come back in 6 weeks? Really?

Y'all are just plain STUPID!

So why are so many people unemployed? The real numbers not the numbers Obama like to show. The people that stopped looking for work or were ineligible for unemployment? So many people unemployed and yet they are letting more people come in the country to take more jobs. It makes NO SENSE!

8:16 That is Fake News about Obummer and all of his so-called Jobs. Most of those jobs that were Created (which are much less than what you claim) are jobs working at McDonalds or Arbys and can hardly support one person much less a family. Mark my words: You will see Good Jobs come back under President Trump.

There's job growth numbers were a lie. They were just playing with numbers to make Obama look good

Well, when you need two jobs to keep the roof over the family, I guess that does double the number of jobs created. I'd rather have a real career that creates wealth for my country than two that serve it burgers.
