The move follows a slowdown in demand for vehicles from Brazil, the largest export market for the cars manufactured in Rosario.
The U.S. automaker General Motors (GM) suspend production for one week at its plant in Argentina's Rosario city due to lower demand because of the global financial crisis.
"We decided to stop production for week ranging from 27 to 31 October to adjust to new levels of growth, "said Bernardo Garcia, director of the company, in remarks published today by the portal Infobae.La is because of a brake on demand for vehicles from Brazil, the main export market of cars that GM makes in Rosario, some 120 thousand units per year, of which 58 thousand. are sold to the South American country.
The decision has been communicated to the plant workers whose maximum steward, Gabriel Bianucci, confirmed that GM alleged reasons of "underproduction" and a decline in sales "nationally and internationally."
The union leader said the measure also applies to the production of GM in Brazil and that employees get paid the same way in the days of suspension.
