General Motors

South Africa’s manufacturing union NUMSA said that 600 workers from 1,500 at General Motors SA will lose their jobs by July after following a decision last week by the automaker to sell its regional operations.

The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) stated that GM had confirmed the numbers and provided lay-off notices as required by law.

The automaker plans to stop developing Chevrolet cars in South Africa and sell its South African factory to Japan’s Isuzu Motors, together with the 30 percent stake the automaker owns in a truck venture with Isuzu. Isuzu concurred in February to buy out GM’s 57.7 percent stake in a joint venture in Kenya.
