U.S. Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12) released the following statement on reports that General Motors (GM) will end one of its production shifts at the Warren Transmission Operations plant in Michigan.

“This announcement by GM further underscores the urgent need for us to come together at all levels of government – federal, state and local – around policies that support a strong manufacturing base and a healthy auto industry, which is still the backbone of the American economy. These cuts are about jobs. Every job matters, and we must ensure we're doing everything we can to accelerate policies that ensure our companies and workers can compete in a global marketplace – from addressing currency manipulation and updating our tax policy to improving access to capital so companies can stay at the forefront of innovation. Instead of politics, we need to focus on policies that will protect and create jobs, grow manufacturing and keep the auto industry strong.”
