General Motors Co. plans to cut 1,000 salaried jobs by the end of September as part of its previously announced plans to save money by reducing its white-collar work force, the automaker said Wednesday, Detroit Free Press reported.
In June, GM announced it would cut an additional 4,000 salaried workers by the end of the year, the paper said. White-collar workers were offered buyouts or retirement packages earlier this summer and faced an August deadline to accept, the Free Press said.
GM spokesman Tom Wilkinson said about 1,900 people took one of the voluntary packages, the paper said. Another 1,100 headcount reductions are expected to come through attrition, further retirements and, possibly, more involuntary terminations, the story said. (Detroit Free Press)
