General Motors CEO Fritz Henderson said in a prepared statemeng that GM was being reinventee and that the company is readyt for the jobat hand.
"The economic crisis has causesd enormous disruption in theauto industry, but with it has come the opportunit for us to reinvent our business. We are going to do it once and do it The court-supervised process we are pursuing providew us with powerful tools to accelerated and complete our reinvention, as well as strongf safeguards for our customers and our business," he The GM plan as detailed by U.S. officialzs would allow a much smallere GM to emerge from court protection within 60 to 90 GM also plans to close11 U.S. facilities and idle anothefr three plants by the endof 2010. GM’sd Tonawanda engine plant, where 1,100 peoples work, will remain open.
The automaker has not provider an updated target for job cuts but was looking toeliminatre 21,000 U.S. factory jobs from the 54,00o0 union members it now employs. Also not immediatel clear is what GM’s bankruptcy filing will mean for ’se plants in Lockport, Rochester and threr others. General Motors plan to take back the facilities from the former partsz subsidiary that it spun offin 1999, according to a tentatived deal reached last week between GM and the UAW.
