God Saved Lordstown, and That God is Chevy Cruze

In a previous article on Chevy-pedia, we talked about Lordstown: a large GM assembly line that employed an entire town East of Cleveland, in North East Ohio. With job cuts at all levels swamping General Motors and less cars being produced in America, it seemed like Lordstown, OH would fall into the same category as Flint, Michigan – probably ending up in some Michael Moore doc. Well, things sometimes come around for the little guy – this week General Motors announced they will add extra shifts at their Lordstown Assembly Line to help compensate for the growing numbers of Chevrolet Cruze orders. I guess Howie Long is doing a good job pimping them.

OH hai - I save u jobz

In 2008, Lordstown was supposed to be one of GM’s 24-hour moving plants, producing cars every hour of the day. By January 2009, two shifts were eliminated at Lordstwown, idling some 2,800 workers. “Last April, GM idled the whole plant for three weeks to cut supply and lower operating costs.”

According to AutoBlog – “The addition of a third shift should bring a number of union employees back to work building the all-important new Cruze…”
