GM Replaces 1,000 Factory Zero Workers With 50 Robots
General Motors is once again under the microscope after expanding automation at its Detroit-based Factory Zero plant, installing about 50 collaborative robots not long after cutting more than 1,000 positions, according to Yahoo Finance.
The decision reflects a broader shift across the auto industry as manufacturers lean more heavily on robotics and AI to improve efficiency while labor groups warn about the impact on employment.
Factory Zero, where GM builds the GMC Hummer EV and Chevrolet Silverado EV, was originally marketed as the centerpiece of the company's electric vehicle ambitions. Instead, inconsistent EV demand has forced production adjustments, temporary downtime, and workforce reductions, even as GM continues pouring money into advanced manufacturing technology.
The newly installed Fanuc cobots assist employees with attaching body panels during assembly. GM says the machines are intended to reduce repetitive, physically taxing w...

Sir Geoffrey Whalen obituary (The Guardian)

|
|
One of the leading figures in the UK motor industry who tried to turn British Leyland around and later became managing director of Peugeot Talbot in CoventryOne of the heroes of the British motor industry in the late 20th century, Sir Geoffrey Whalen, who has died aged 90, was bloodied in the interminable, but ultimately futile, battle to make British Leyland succeed, yet his achievement was to keep mass-market car manufacturing alive in Coventry for an extra 20 years from the time he became managing director of Peugeot UK in 1984.Having started out in industrial relations for the National Coal Board in Scotland, Whalen was 30 before he moved to be divisional personnel manager for AC Delco, the components arm of General Motors in Dunstable, Bedfordshire.

|
|
|
The World Cup had been an enormously popular event with surprisingly limited commercial significance; the 1990 tournament in Italy, for instance, lost money for broadcasters. Then the World Cup came to the US in 1994 and everything changed.
On this episode of the Odd Lots podcast, Joey D'Urso, author of More Than A Shirt, joins Tracy Alloway and Joe Weisenthal to discuss how advertisements and sponsorships by American corporations like McDonalds and General Motors in the 1994 World Cup changed the business of the sport forever.

How the 1994 World Cup Transformed the Business of Football Forever | Odd Lots (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
The last time the World Cup came to the US was 1994. Before then, the World Cup was an enormously popular event with surprisingly limited commercial significance. The 1990 tournament in Italy, for instance, lost money for broadcasters. But that all changed in 1994, when American companies sought to make their mark in the form of advertisements and sponsorships: firms like McDonalds, Mastercard, and General Motors saw the potential to reach a global audience through one of the world's most watched sports events. On this episode, we speak with Joey D'Urso, a freelance sports journalist and author of the recent book, More Than A Shirt: How Football Shirts Explain Global Politics, Money and Power. We talk about the changes from the 1994 World Cup and this year's competition, which is being held jointly, by the US, Canada, and Mexico. We also talk about other surprising stories of corporate and geopolitical influence in football. (Source: Bloomberg)...
