An auto plant costs tons of money to build and outfit. It isn't going to just sit there collecting dust. At some price point someone is going to buy it. And if they buy it, they'll need workers. The places that should be worried are the ones with the worst auto plants.
But the other problem is that the skills needed to become an auto worker, as far as I can tell, aren't exactly the hardest to acquire. So long time auto workers could lose their position to some fresh on the floor. Or maybe no one steps into those former GM auto plants. Sure other manufacturers would step into fill the void in the marketplace left by GM but there's no guarantee that those out of work autoworkers would move, or be able to move, to where production has increased.

The way I see it, if Toyota and other car companies are making a decent penny, I can very much see some rich investors buying out GM, restructuring the company.....and just continue making cars.
Without the union of course. And the moronic business executives.
That is if the stupid government isn't hellbent on wasting even more money.
