HeraldLive reports that General Motors SA (GMSA) is on the verge of shedding jobs as a weakened economy has knocked the car giant and placed the motor industry under significant pressure.
The company, which is one of Nelson Mandela Bay’s biggest employers, has confirmed that it is in talks with its staff and unions to look for alternatives to retrenchments.
