H2 Plant Closing


Due to an overstock at dealers of the H2, AM General is closing their manufacturing plant during the week of October 16th and 23rd. In addition, up to 175 employees may lose their jobs.


GM, who AM General manufactures the H2 for, said layoff notices will not be coming from them, but AM General. There has been no 60-day notice given to the state as of yet, a requirement by companies laying off large numbers of workers.


United Auto Workers Local 5 represent workers at the site, which employs roughly 600 people, down 400 from a few years ago during its peak.
