Trump Slams GM as U.S. Workforce Shrinks to Detroit’s Smallest Automaker

(Bloomberg) -- U.S. President Donald Trump criticized General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) for shrinking its U.S. manufacturing presence, which has reduced the company’s unionized workforce to the smallest among Detroit’s automakers.

“General Motors, which was once the Giant of Detroit, is now one of the smallest auto manufacturers there,” Trump tweeted Friday, a day after Bloomberg News reported GM employed fewer United Auto Workers-represented employees than Ford Motor (NYSE:F) Co. or Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV. The president called for GM to “start moving back to America again.”
