Major announcement at GM Lordstown set for Tuesday

Thursday, February 18, 2010

General Motors is planning an announcement at its Lordstown complex Tuesday, which has workers speculating that the automaker could detail plans to add a third shift.

Jim Graham and Dave Green, Union Auto Workers leaders at the complex, said they would wait until Tuesday before making any comments.

Tom Mock, a complex spokesman, said the media will receive notice Monday about an event at the complex the following day. He declined to comment further.

Some union members said, however, that there is much speculation that a third shift is coming as the complex prepares to launch the Chevrolet Cruze in August.
