The National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) has received a notice of retrenchment from General Motors following the company’s announcement that it is pulling out of the country. "Last week GM announced that it would be disinvesting from SA and that it sold its local operations to Isuzu," Numsa said in a statement late on Monday. The union added: "The management of General Motors met with Numsa on Monday as part of consultation and it confirmed that it is winding down manufacturing operations locally." GM issued a retrenchment notice to the Commission for Conciliation‚ Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) in terms of section 189 and section 189A of the Labour Relations Act.
