United Autoworkers Region 3 Director Maurice Davison said the workers' position likely will mean GM will go ahead with closing plans, posting a schedule possibly as early as Tuesday, the Indianapolis Star reported Monday.
"The sad fact is GM is gone from Indianapolis. That's a fact," Davison said. "It's a sad day for Indianapolis".
UAW members at a union meeting Sunday defied Detroit union chiefs who negotiated wage cuts and expected the 650 Indianapolis autoworkers to vote Monday on a new contract with a potential buyer for the 70-year-old factory, the Star said. UPI
