Under fire from President Trump over plans to shut several factories, General Motors Co. on Friday shed light on the prospects for minimizing job losses by transferring some workers to other GM plants in the U.S. The Detroit auto maker said it would be adding about 2,700 workers at several factories in Michigan, Texas and other states, starting next year. Some of the 6,700 workers who will be out of work when GM idles five factories in the U.S. and Canada beginning this spring are eligible to move to those plants, GM said.
