General Motors is closing its IT Innovation Center in Chandler, Arizona, cutting 940 jobs.
The closing came as a major shock, ChandlerNews.com reported.
This location will close on Oct. 31, according to KTVK-TV. “Today’s announcement that GM plans to close its Arizona IT Innovation Center came as a complete surprise,” economic development director Micah Miranda said.
“We’ve recently been working with their local team about higher education partnerships, mentoring, and a promotional video highlighting Chandler’s Price Corridor. With this unfortunate news, we plan to work closely with our workforce development partners to assist with employment opportunities for those impacted,” Miranda said.

Damned right they do.
general Motors knocks foreign manufacturers, but at least Toyota employs people in America.

Feb of last year they said they were "Expanding", it was started in 2014, as a Green /IT/Inclusive workforce operation(under obama) It actually was 4 centers, this one, Warren Mich, Austin Tex, and one in Ga. Likely part of the GM bailout deal...and aimed for targeted voting groups in "swing" states.

Of course the innovation center closes: Race hustlers got America to declare innovation as something of white supremacy. We can no longer invent or innovate without being racist.

It's bargaining time for the UAW.... stand by while GM cuts non union jobs and even sells off various entities to keep the UAW happy. Never fails , I've seen it live and in action for years. I'm surprised they aren't trying to bilk the taxpayers again .

Another dem "get out the union vote" play.
Think "get the union vote out" of a job will sell big?

Not to worry. Joe feels your pain. He almost lost a job once when he was in high school, but the other kid met with an unfortunate accident, so he remained employed that summer. So he gets it.

"IT Innovation"? "higher education partnerships, mentoring, and a promotional video..."?
Sounds like ballast that the corporation could do without.

Hey Union worker.. you get what you vote for. But you still remain democrats. Quit complaining when Democrat economic policies that block oil production, fund a Ukraine war we are nearly totally funding that has no end in sight and the Biden family mafia is profiting from which in turn causes inflation to the point where people cannot afford to buy new cars. But you Union workers still vote for these idiots. Cannot say I totally feel sorry for you. GM plants in China are still open!

Everybody was blindsided except those who watched GM jump with both feet into the EV boondoggle that has produced unsold and unsellable cars and trucks sitting on back lots everywhere. Oh, and they didn't get another grant but they took lots of "subsidy" money from US taxpayers to develop those Lithium bombs that nobody except eco-nuts want to buy. Next up - Ford. Want to buy a nice electric pickup that is now advertised at a whopping $6,500 discount? Me neither.

To cover the expense of all those money losing EVs. Bidenomics picks winner and losers. Producers lose. Bidenomics isn't about making a profit which means it isn't about producing a product or service. All those unemployed workers end up dependent on the government, and Bidenomics is all about dependency.

“Higher education partnerships, mentoring”... “employment opportunities for those impacted”.... who talks like that?
When you hear phrases like these, you know it’s a load of crapola.
