Workers at GM-Suzuki plant OK rotating layoffs | The Detroit News | detnews.com |
INGERSOLL, Ontario -- Workers at the CAMI Automotive Inc. assembly plant have voted to share the pain.
Members of Canadian Auto Workers Local 88 voted 99 percent in favor Sunday of rotating layoffs between January and April 2009. That means members will work in alternating two-week shifts.
Rejection of the plan would have meant four-month layoffs for 600 workers at the plant, a joint venture between General Motors Corp. and Suzuki Motor Corp.
Work is expected to pick up again in May 2009 when a new vehicle is to be launched at the plant 140 miles east of Detroit.
CAW Local 88 represents 2,400 hourly workers at the plant, which makes the Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Suzuki XL7.
