GM furloughs 1,200 additional US, Canadian workers as UAW strike enters second week
The latest furloughs include roughly 525 hourly employees at the automaker’s jointly-operated DMax engine facility in Ohio and about 700 people at GM’s St. Catharines, Ontario, powertrain plant, according to company and union officials. That brings the total number of workers temporarily out of jobs to 3,725 at GM and at least 2,000 employees at its suppliers. The total is likely significantly higher as there isn’t a way to track all of GM’s suppliers.
