Not as bad (for GM Employees) as portrayed in the media. Powertrain in Toledo is taking a large number of them as are other plants (if they want to move and transfer) and there will be relocation funds available too. There are about 1200 employees at Lordstown and the other slated for closure plants that can take an early retirement so it's not as bad as t's being publicized.
Having said that, I too think the push for SUV's and hybrid vehicles is a mistake but then I'm not planning on buying a new vehicle anytime soon.
