) is bracing for attacks from Democratic presidential candidates at two debates that begin on Tuesday in Detroit near its headquarters.
GM announced in November it would cut a total of about 15,000 jobs and end production at five North American plants, included eliminating about 8,000 salaried workers. On Tuesday, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez and Representative Dan Kildee will hold a press conference with workers across the street from the Warren plant “to highlight Trump’s broken promises on the economy,” the DNC said in a statement. In October 2016, Trump came to Warren and said: “If I’m elected you won’t lose one plant… you’re going to have jobs again.
Another of the factories set to close, GM’s Detroit-Hamtramck plant, won a temporary reprieve in February when GM extended production into January 2020. In March, GM removed a Mexican-made Chevrolet Blazer from a display at Comerica Park, where the Detroit Tigers play, after some workers objected.
