GM Opens Up 1,000 New Jobs To Laid Off Workers At Flint Michigan Truck Plant

General Motors said Tuesday it will add 1,000 workers to build new heavy-duty pickup trucks at its plant in Flint, Michigan, and will give priority to GM workers who were laid off elsewhere.

GM has come under fire from U.S. President Donald Trump and Midwestern lawmakers for its plans to stop production at five North American factories and cut up to 15,000 jobs. The automaker has said it is trying to find new jobs for 1,500 U.S. hourly workers at the affected plants. Flint could be a haven for many of these employees.

I wonder who will be buying GM. This is clearly pruning the company down for a sale. GAC? Geely? SAIC/Nanjing Merger? FCA?

Someone would buy it for the pickup and heavy truck business. The rest, not so much.
