Balance Sought By GM
General Motors will close its Oakland plants for one day on Monday as part of a nationwide plan to balance production with current customer demand. About 16,505 workers at two Chevrolet assembly plants and Fisher Body will be on the job tomorrow and return after the Monday shutdown. Production at the two assembly plants is 350 cars and 128 trucks a day. GM earlier announced a 10 percent cutback, but Oakland plant managers said they had received cutback orders. California plants would not reduce production as much as others due to a better market. Local auto dealers report the year so far is slower than last year.
