Tribune staff, wire reports
Published October 29, 2004

General Motors Corp. said it will temporarily idle five plants early in 2005, idling about 10,300 workers as well, because the company expects to have an oversupply of sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks. Spokesman Dan Flores said the temporary shutdowns involve plants in Janesville, Wis.; Arlington, Texas; Oklahoma City; and Lansing, Mich.
