As has been announced, General Motors Corp. (GM) will temporarily shut 13 assembly plants in the US for up to 11 weeks. This is 40% of GM’s US assembly facilities. This will affect 24,000 workers and may be a prelude to a bankruptcy on June 1. This is in addition to the layoff of 1,600 office staff.
