GM to recall 4000 workers as auto output rises in 1975
General Motors said nearly 4,000 workers will be recalled from long term layoffs after April 1 to handle increased production. The company has announced plans to bring about 10,800 workers back in coming weeks as it shifts to second shifts at several plants including Flint and Ypsilanti. GM aims to produce about 1,707,000 cars in the first half of 1975, down from last year, with output boosted at Lords town Ohio subassemblies and Detroit area plants while some trucks are reduced. Chrysler and American Motors also plan idling and adjustments to meet demand.
