GM Should Close Plants Overseas Not in U.S.
In GM’s recent announcement of their plan to continue to become a viable business, GM stated that they will close plants in the U.S. and lay off more workers. While GM continues to receive U.S. taxpayer money in their bailouts they should be forced to close plants outside of the U.S. before anything in country is closed. While people currently argue against protectionism in today’s global economy, is it right for U.S. taxpayers to pay to save foreign jobs while we loose more GM plants and employees? We agree that GM is bloated when it comes to the workforce and that more needs to be done by the union to increase American GM employee productivity, but we also believe that U.S. taxpayer money should go to save U.S. jobs and stimulate our local economies first.
