SAGINAW (WJRT) (9/18/2019) - Layoffs are possible at General Motors supplier Nexteer Automotive as a strike nears the end of its third day.

The company "must temporarily reduce our workforce in the coming days," according to Dennis Hoeg, Nexteer's vice president and North America Division president.

His statement reference a specific number of layoffs or when they would be made. The layoffs are a result of a production slowdown at GM during the strike.

Hoeg said Nexteer hopes to return to full production "as quickly as possible" when the strike is resolved.

Across the border in Ontario, GM laid off about 1,200 workers from a factory that assembles pickup trucks in Oshawa, according to the Associated Press. Those layoffs are temporary and related to the strike.

The strike started at midnight Monday when 49,000 United Auto Workers members walked out of 55 factories and parts warehouses nationwide.

They are fighting for better pay, benefits and a path for thousands of temporary workers to reach full seniority.

On one hand, you want a job with a company that pays well and has your best interests in mind, however in order to do that the company must do several things. 1) Satisfy customer with good products. 2) Satisfy investors by always increasing profits. 3) pay employees well. Problem is all 3 cannot coexist. If you want good pay plus good 401k it's not going to happen. By all of us being mini investor s we are screwing ourselves out a job. That is what has taken presidence, investment s, forget about the worker.

Yup, key word Chinese company.
Workers that work for a slave wage just like the Chinese people do, some Chinese people only get to go home to see family maybe once or twice a year, is this what we want here in America? I should think not.
Most working class Chinese suffer as seen in countless documentaries, most Chinese children are cared for by grandparents while moms and dads work in a far away province, sound familiar to you GM line workers that had to transfer to another state and up root? Pay attention people corporations absolutely do not care about you or your families, it's always about the bottom line and always will be. This is a global problem not just here in the US.
