Emotions run high at the GM Lordstown, Ohio plant. The final Chevy Cruze will come off the line there, and then the sprawling factory will close.
Most of the people who work there will be out of a job.
GM said it planned to mothball 5 plants. Warren and Detroit-Hamtramck plant are also on that list. But the Detroit-Hamtramck plant was given a 6-month extension.
The UAW has gone to court charging a violation of the labor contract.
