More layoffs are anticipated at Kokomo Transmission and Kokomo Casting in Kokomo, Indiana, impacting an additional 300 employees there, the company said.
Ford and General Motors already laid off or warned of idling employees at two of their plants because of the targeted strikes.
General Motors idled 2,000 employees at the company’s Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas due to the UAW’s targeted strike on its Wentzville Assembly Plant in Missouri, the company announced Wednesday.
Due to the specific circumstances of this situation, impacted employees are not eligible for company-provided SUB-pay,” the company said in a statement.
GM said it continues to bargain in good faith and is scheduled to be at the main bargaining table with the UAW today.
