Some Warren Delphi employees transferring to GM Lordstown

WARREN — General Motors is taking at least 118 workers from Delphi Packard Electric to staff its plants.

The Lordstown assembly plant will take 94 of those workers. The rest are going to various GM plants around the country.

The transfers should eliminate Packard’s plans to lay off workers for the third time in seven months, said Mike O’Donnell, shop chairman of Local 717 of the International Union of Electrical Workers. He said he expected up to 100 people to be laid off soon because of declining production volumes.
