There's more fall out surrounding the idling of GM Lordstown. At least 180 people working at Comprehensive Logistics in Austintown have been told they will be out of a job. 

According to a letter that an employee sent to 21 News, Source Providers, a sudivision of Comprehensive Logistics, will be permanently closing its plant located at 365 & 375 Victoria Road in Austintown. 

Employee Veronica Allison received the same letter and shared her feelings with less than a week until Christmas.

"When I see permanent it's very frightening. It's very frightening because it means nothing, permanent means there is nothing, so is there nothing? Somebody needs to clarify that," said Allison.

The letter says "the unfortunate situation follows the November statement that General Motors announced plans to close five U.S. plants in 2019, including the Lordstown assembly plant."

The letter says "the facility's sole responsibility is to feed parts to positions on the Lordstown assembly line."

United Steel Worker Representative, Jose Arroyo, represents 180 active workers at the Austintown facility, he says they already have about 300 workers laid off. Those layoffs coincided with GM shift cuts. Now, this letter says the plant will close "permanently." 

"Does that mean that is the end for General Motors? I am not part of those negotiations, we are supply chain members, but as far as Source Providers goes, this does not bode well for the future of General Motors in my opinion," said Arroyo.

Local UAW President Dave Green said he does not believe the facilities permanent closure will make it any more difficult for GM Lordstown to get a new product.

"Some of that work could be done inside the plant, maybe in the future, whatever the case may be. I truly believe we are going to keep pushing forward and we are going to have an opportunity come next year to get some announcement," said Green.

21 News reached out to the CEO of Comprehensive Logistics, he would not officially confirm the plant is closing. He only said they are still working with GM to understand the impacts.

It's not clear if employees at Falcon Transport, another subdivision of Comprehensive Logistics, received a similar letter and how they could be impacted.

Chief Operating Officer of Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber of Commerce, Sarah Boyarko, said the future of the plant is still unknown. Boyarko said  that this is no surprise and the ripple effect has begun.

According to Boyarko, GM Lordstown being idled will still impact many suppliers all the way down to small businesses.

Boyarko had contacted the regional chambers in the Cleveland to Pittsburgh footprint and are creating a list of available employment opportunities and training opportunities for everyone affected. The jobs being lost are not just warehouse distribution and manufacturing jobs, but any type of job within the company. 

Boyarko stated that the "Drive it Home" campaign will continue to move forward and attempt to get a product allocated, but that Mahoning Valley needs to be prepared for the outcome no matter what happens.
