DETROIT — General Motors Co. is offering buyouts to several thousand skilled-trades workers at 14 plants across the U.S.
The company estimates it has 2,000 more skilled-trades workers than it needs right now. Skilled-trades workers do jobs that need special training, such as electrical work and welding.
The buyouts come after the automaker’s announcement last month that it plans to hire 1,000 engineers and researchers over the next two years as it adds staff to work on the next generation of electric vehicles.
