As part of its historic Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, the General Motors Corp. announced plans today to close a parts distribution center and warehouse in Norton. This location, which will close before the end of 2009, includes 54 union jobs and 15 managers and other salaried employees. One employee, quoted by the Herald, wasn't optimistic about finding a new job.
GM is the second of the Big Three car manufacturers to declare bankruptcy, following Chrysler in May.
