GM Squeezed $118 Million From Its Ohio Workers, Then Shut The Plant
Previous employees of the General Motors plant in Ohio are now trying to determine next steps, following the closure of their workplace. In 2017, union members agreed to make $118 million annually in concessions in an attempt to save the plant- only to have the plant shutdown a year later. Union members are disgruntled because they feel that they did everything that management asked of them to save the plant, “And still, we don’t have a product to build.” Management claims that the issue stems from a lack of demand for the vehicle that the plant was producing, not high employee wages.
