GM expected to start cutting 4,000 white-collar workers Monday
General Motors is expected to start its next round of white-collar job cuts Monday, but the carmaker apparently has fewer staff reductions left to make than has been anticipated.
In November, GM said it needed to reduce its North American white-collar workforce by about 8,000. About 2,250 salaried workers volunteered to take a buyout, leaving as many as 5,750 workers still to be cut.
But on Friday a GM spokesman said the automaker had trimmed about 1,500 contract jobs, meaning about 4,000 more staff jobs will be cut.
As to when those workers will be served pink slips, GM won't say, beyond, "We’ve indicated that the involuntary reductions would happen in the first quarter," said Pat Morrissey, GM spokesman.
