SHREVEPORT (AP) — On Aug. 15, Louisiana’s governor, Shreveport’s mayor and other leaders will head to Detroit to talk to General Motors about saving local jobs.
Gov. Bobby Jindal, Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover and someone from the Caddo Parish Commission will head to Detroit where they’re expected to meet with GM’s president of North America and the company’s head of manufacturing for North America.
Jindal says their intent for the trip is to make it clear to GM that the state is willing to be aggressive in being GM’s partner in putting people back to work in Louisiana.
Last week, GM Shreveport announced they would be getting rid of its entire second shift at the end of September. At least 700 jobs will be cut from GM and hundreds more will also be lost from supply companies.
