Well, I saw a bit more info on it this AM. Apprently, they DID actually offer some employees a buyout yesterday. So at least it wasn't a total ambush. I think I see why this happened the way it did. A few weeks ago, I was reading on TTAC that the Shreveport Plant, along with one in Deleware, the old Saturn plant in Springhill TN, and the Orion MI plant were in the running to make the next GM subcompact. I THOUGHT Shreveport was a lock since I'd read that those plants were already being considered for closing. But yesterday GM also annouced that the Orion plant was going to make the new subcompact. The plant will close by 2012 if nothing changes. Production of the H3 is actually supposed to ramp up a bit. But that's only through 2010.
