2,200 jobs? Does that number sound familiar?

shreveporttimes.com: What's going on with the General Motors Shreveport plant?

An opportunity lost

In 2012, GM Shreveport's last year of operation, the plant produced 39,330 trucks and employed 414 hourly workers and 53 salaried workers, according to company data provided by spokesman Daniel Flores. But Flores said the plant employed many more people than those numbers reflect.

“I was in Shreveport several times at the plant when it was running, when we probably had 2,000 to 3,000 people working there," Flores said.
That's the place that Elio asset-stripped before they folded.
