United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain endorsed Kamala Harris at the DNC convention in Chicago on Monday night.
Fain praised Kamala Harris as a “fighter” for the working class and criticized Donald Trump, calling him a “scab.”
The day after UAW President Shawn Fain endorsed Kamala Harris, General Motors revealed it will eliminate 1,000 high-paying engineering jobs, including 600 in Michigan.
As reported by Bloomberg:
General Motors Co. is cutting more than 1,000 software engineers as the automaker moves to lean up its software and services organization, said a person familiar with the matter.
More than 600 of the layoffs will be in Michigan, the person said. The moves come two months after former Apple Inc. executives David Richardson and Baris Cetinok were promoted to senior vice president roles in the group.
“As we build GM’s future, we must simplify for speed and excellence, make bold choices, and prioritize the investments that will have the greatest impact,” GM said Monday in a statement confirming the cuts, without specifying how many people were affected.
GM declined to say how much the reductions will reduce its overall software engineering workforce.
Also, the engineers will be replaced by engineers from other developing countries.
