MORAINE, Ohio (AP) -- General Motors Corp. says it has hired 450 temporary workers -- including some who were laid off earlier this year -- for its Moraine, Ohio, plant.
The more than 770 workers who accepted a buyout or early retirement are working their last day Friday at the southwest Ohio plant that makes sport utility vehicles.
GM spokeswoman Jessica Peck says the temporary laborers include workers laid off from the plant in January, former temporary workers and hourly workers who will be laid off from the nearby GM-Isuzu truck engine plant.
GM recently announced plans to close the Moraine plant in 2010, or possibly sooner.
