Detroit (CNN Business) The deal to end the month-long strike at General Motors will not save an assembly plant in Lordstown, Ohio, and two other transmission plants, according to the United Auto Workers union. In November, GM announced plans to close Lordstown as well as transmission plants in Warren, Michigan, and Baltimore, Maryland and Hamtramck, in Detroit. But the company was offering that even before the union went on strike on Sept. 16. It also disclosed that GM plans to close a parts distribution center outside of Los Angeles sometime during the life of this contract. During contract negotiations, the United Auto Workers union had demanded GM bring some of the trucks it builds in Mexico to the US plants.
