Fisher Guide plant in Elyria to be sold by GM
The Fisher Guide plant in Elyria plans a sale after GM decided to divest. Personnel director Stephen Murray and plant manager Larry Baker say the move could hurt short term employment but may boost long term growth as new owners secure orders from other automakers while GM continues to buy parts for existing lifespans. Local union opposition and a failed ESOP donation marked tensions during negotiations.
