GM has made the move yesterday to stop operation of their Wilmington, Delaware plant. This 62-year-old assembly plant was responsible for manufacturing the Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice, which has ceased production.
GM’s ultimate plan is to get rid of the Pontiac and Saturn brand names; Pontiac being discontinued completely and Saturn to be sold to the Penske Automotive Group.
The workers who were laid off had a “celebration” today of their last day of work. One employee, talking to delwareonline, said “It was so quick, you know?” That’s what hurt everybody.”
