In The Region: GM is committing to building the next generation of the Chevy Cruze at Lordstown, an announcement that bodes well for 4,000 to 4,500 jobs in Northeast Ohio.
GM’s announcement includes an investment of $220 million to upgrade equipment at the Lordstown assembly plant and at the Parma Metal Center.
Together, the plant employ about 5,000 people.
The announcement came today in Warren, at the headquarters of one of the two union locals at the plant. Tim O’Hare is UAW Local 11-12’s vice president. |
“The corporation, they usually like to start a new model or revamp the one they have every four, five, six years to keep it fresh. Assuming that we start sometime, off the top of my head, maybe 2015, 2016, you know that’s another five to six years of job security for our members of Local 1112 and 1714.”
GM officially launched the Cruze two years ago, and the compact sedan has been a top seller since. But sales slid last year, as Japanese competitors recovered from the earthquake, and GM cut back on fleet sales to rental companies. |
