Interesting, little is mentioned of re training workers for their new products

The factory that makes the Cruze is set up to make the Cruze and it will continue to make Cruzes, just 16 hours a day instead of 24.

They might be able to work in another model on the same platform as the Cruze but they can't build Cruzes for 16 hours a day and then switch to building trucks.

GM does typically offers reassignments but maybe workers expect to be called back at some point.

Different plants. BoF vs. unibody.
