Second shift resumes at Lordstown GM

LORDSTOWN — General Motors brought back 1,050 laid-off workers at its Lordstown complex today, but union leaders aren’t satisfied.

“The hope is the second shift is just the beginning. Hopefully down the road, we’ll see a third shift added,” said Dave Green, president of United Auto Workers Local 1714 at the metal stamping plant.

GM brought back a second shift of 1,000 hourly workers and 50 salaried workers to increase the supply of Chevrolet Cobalts and to prepare for the launch of the Chevrolet Cruze in April.
