Too bad they can't start feeding another model through that plant. I'd like to see those guys stay busy!

I hope they hold off. With the drop in fuel prices we should see some kind of bump in sales.

Yeah, right. Like, you know, they could, really, just, like, you know, just start feeding H3s through there, like really.

Well considering the UAW workers get about 90% of their pay guaranteed during a layoff along with full benefits, I doubt they care much.
My buddy who works at Fairfax LOVES shutdowns and layoffs, he goes into full home improvement mode whenever he has the chance.

It would be nice if it was possible to scale the factory to produce another vehicle, be it a Hummer or something else. I imagine H2 sales will never pick up again, even after a significant redesign, unless they start getting over 22MPG. So, eventually, they're going to have to run something else through there, or face bigger layoffs or closures. I don't think GM is going to continue to play nicely.

Re: H2 Plant Layoffs Looming?
Looks like you were right on the money and the guy in the plant that was interviewed was a janitor that was trying to sound important

Re: H2 Plant Layoffs Looming?
Another GM vehicle would be what I was suggesting. Something on a similar platform.
