Asked by a reporter if GM would target another 10% cut in US salaried and contract staff next year, as it has done the previous two years, Cowger said: “You’ll see that start to mitigate next year,” Reuters said.
According to Reuters, Cowger told reporters at a Detroit Automotive Press Association luncheon that the vehicle maker has overachieved in its effort to cut salaried jobs but will continue to focus on cutting costs next year.
GM’s cost-cutting efforts have been helped by the gains it has made in productivity and vehicle quality, Cowger said, according to Reuters.
