GM Closing 3 Ohio Factories, Cutting 1,000 Jobs

Tuesday, June 2, 2009

The Columbus Dispatch reports:

General Motors yesterday announced it will cut about 1,000 jobs in the state, with 860 coming at a Mansfield stamping plant that will close next June. Smaller losses are expected when a distribution center in Groveport closes in December, claiming 81 jobs, and when a Parma powertrain operation that employs 46 is shut down a year after that. 

"Everyone did what they could to keep it open," Paul Williams said just outside the Mansfield plant, where he has worked for 40 years. The plant is located in Ontario, just outside the Mansfield city limits. "It's a very emotional time in there. It's a very emotional time for this community."
