Women at GM layoffs split as workers push broad anti discrimination drive
Night shift workers at General Motors Assembly Division Fremont confront January layoffs while eight women seek back pay and promotions from a sex discrimination suit. A petition by 672 workers, including many women and minority men, urges the United Auto Workers Local 1364 to fight all discrimination and end layoffs for all workers, not just women. Union leaders declined comment as committees within the local push a broader, united response to shrinking job pools amid fears of federal court involvement and loss of seniority protections.
