Showing Original Post only (View all)Worker: GM Told Us About Plant Closing By Playing A Video In The Break Room [View all]

In an interview with Vox, Nanette Senters described her work at the Lordstown, OH GM plant: one of the five plants that GM will close.
I work in the body shop; its basically the metal assembly division. I assemble pieces and parts in the car doors. I work like a human robot every day, but none of us mind working hard. We have good benefits and pay.
