GM workers reach final day at Ohio SUV plant | detnews.com | The Detroit News |
MORAINE, Ohio -- Workers at General Motors Corp.'s sport-utility vehicle plant in the Dayton suburb of Moraine are working their last day at the factory.
Tuesday is the final day of production at the plant, which has been pumping out GM vehicles for the past 27 years. About 1,080 hourly workers are employed at the plant.
In June, GM announced it would close the plant because high gasoline prices were driving consumers away from the SUVs made there.
GM employed 19,000 workers in the Dayton area in 1999, before spinning off its Delphi supplier division. Tuesday's closing of the SUV plant will leave 572 workers at a GM engine plant in Moraine the automaker owns jointly with Isuzu.
