Detroit, Michigan USA - 20 December 2018 - United Auto Workers leaders spoke to the news media, opposing General Motors' plan to close the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant (the Poletown plant), which makes the Chevrolet Volt and other vehicles. In 1980, GM persuaded the city of Detroit to use eminent domain to clear the thriving Poletown neighborhood of 1,500 homes, 144 businesses, and 16 churches to make room for the facility.
