HTN: More GM Layoffs Could Impact Tonawanda Plant

Workers at General Motors' Tonawanda engine plant are waiting anxiously to hear how the latest round of production cuts at GM assembly plants will affect them. Tonawanda supplies several other plants affected by the cuts, as GM announced two-thousand layoffs in Ohio and Michigan. Nine plants will be shutdown over the next six months, on an alternating basis, in response to slow sales. About one-third of the 1,165-member Tonawanda plant are already on "indefinite layoff."
