Johnson Controls? European & Korean factories, palm trees? 🌴 Toyota dealers? Is the video off from the sound?
I visited it on a vacation in 1983. It's in Mw.City actually.
I grew up around OKC, had a lot of friends who's parents worked there. Dayton Tire and GM shut down about the same time. I remember when the GM plant got hit by the 1999 Moore tornado.
Right? Where are these pictures from?
Gm is and always has been a lesson in idioticy.
Being a right to work state, UAW helped GM choose Okc as being one of the first to close.
The last things assembled there were the Colorado pickup, and the Hummer 2. Very little of this mockumentary is correct. Clickbait !
Whoever decided what images to include must have had no knowledge of the subject being presented since so many had no relation to the narration. This might as well have been a radio report.
the pics need to match the video,the japs shown im sure didnt work at oky city,i used to haul parts from fisher body in marion indiana into that plant among other gm freight for many years
October 26,1982 when I was 17 yrs old a senior at Carl Albert Sr. High School after I got off my afternoon job at 10:00 pm I ran into a couple of friends that said theres going to be a drag race on S. Air Depot just west of the GM Plant standing on the finish line when one of the drivers lost control leaving the roadway traveling over a 100 m.p.h. hitting me on my left side and then I went under the car where I stayed until the car came to a stop and caught fire..No one knew i was even under the car for hours until the wrecker driver was about to tow the car is when he found me wrapped around the rear axle and to had to be cut out to be removed. Ever since then my life has been screwed up,now im 60 yrs old.
Sounds like the unions fucked over the employees in negotiations
greedy oklahoma capital didn't want to give general motors additional tax breaks for 15,000 okies over $60mil dollars a year. very greedy and guess what ???? we lost 15,000 families. thanks okc
GM IS OWNED BY VANGUARD AND BLACKROCK… over 30 trillion in assets
This video is supposed to be about the OKC GM plant 99% is pics of asians and other countries
Lot of nonsense and disinformation in this video and some truth. I worked 09/26/1979 till the end and there was never three shifts of production. OKC ran 2 full shifts at full production and one shift during downturns. Much of the photos in this video are not of the OKC plant or are representative of the good folks of UAW Local 1999. Any portrayal that the plant closed because of the UAW is untrue. There was long term harm done by the short sided financial system that rewards corporations and punishing workers that still exists.
It's part of Tinker Air Force base now. . .But is it just me, or is anyone else finding themselves abandoning videos halfway through because of bloated content that doesn't add anything but time? Take something that can be explained in 5 minutes, and make it into a 50 minute video? Especially as another commenter noted, who picked the photos for this? Most have no connection to the old GMAD plant?
I responded to the 2003 fire in the paint pit as part of the OKC Fire hazmat team. It was a mess. We were on scene for about 10 hours. Ended up wading thru chest high water in the pits that we put on the fire. Fun times.
If Mr. A1 hadn't kept repeating himself, this video would of been about 15 minutes long.
I hired on there in April 1979 In the paint dept. and stayed till June 1981. At that time we worked mostly 6 days a week mandatory and there was lots of overtime to be had in my area. Many workers got used to the good money to be made and overspent, then went bankrupt when the extra hours eventually shut off.
As someone who worked there from the first day this plant opened to the last day I can tell you this video is 95% B, S.
Seems like i remember the state wanted to revoke tax subsidies
There was a lot of lies in this video, someone didn’t do their homework!!!
Look at the general motors plant that closed in the 1990s in Shreveport Louisiana that still has not sold has a high crime rate now around it
Also they put 6 thousand people with out a job when they closed in Shreveport Louisiana
GM 1978-79.myself and a friend went on a tour of the OKC GM plant each group tour at the end of the tour we were told that we had walked 11 miles.
I worked for an industrial medicine company (early 1990s) that had a contract to take care of GM workers in the OKC plant. One of the more fascinating things about my experience there… was the difference in attitude between workers who had transferred in from the Midwest plants vs. the native born Oklahoma workers. The Midwest transplants were really hostile towards the company… and it almost seemed like they worked for the union. The Oklahoma workers were less hostile toward GM. The Oklahoma workers knew there were no other steady blue collar jobs in the state that paid 20 bucks an hour. They were still just glad that GM had put a plant in town.
Okc got hit hard with a triple play we lost lucent technology, Dayron tire and GM all 3 was great paying jobs. We've survived and were thriving
Very well covered. I've lived and sold Chevrolets in OKC since 1998. You did a good job of telling the whole story.
My dad worked here from 1979 until 2006. Luckily, he was offered early retirement. A lot of people were not so lucky. GM did a lot of people wrong.
Bring from there. The union is why. The union still a has a manned pristine building across the street last time I checked. Though, I don't live in Oklahoma and don't drive by they're very much anymore.
GM should have shut the thing down the minute Oklahoma screwed them on the taxes, and taken it as a business loss and made Oklahoma and object lesson to other states in what happens when you make promises you can't or won't keep.
at any given time, you could drive by and there were thousands of new vehicles sitting outside. i was always in awe that any company would be able to sell so many cars within a single year. i always dreamed of growing up and being able to get one…….why did these big companies turn their backs on the people who literally made them what they are?
My guess would be the Union Auto workers hall across the road didn't have anything to do with it.
NAFTA didn't have anything to do with it either.
Oops I didn't say that out loud did I…. My bad.
I used to work there as a temporary hoping to get hired permanently, but unfortunately it didn’t happen. It was good times working there.
I worked there from 1979 to 2006. I am proud to say I worked with the greatest bunch of people in the state of Oklahoma. We had pride in what we did.
The GMC envoy with the slider back top glass was the final failure ……they were a poor design not the fault of the workers or the plant
GM wants to build overpriced crap. Then we bail them out. CRC money went to Mexico and Korea.
I stood behind the place I worked and watched the train get chased by the tornado that ripped up the plant. It made a horrible sound and then nothing when it skipped the runway and dropped on the neighborhood on the other side. A horrible sound, then nothing. I oversaw engine personnel in the building afterward for a while.
My stepdad took me on a tour of this plant back in '86. As Oklahoma was in the middle of the oil "bust"and our state's economy was nearly 90% based on oil everyone was hurting financially. But this was the job everyone wanted. We went from a owning of a struggling plumbing company to near abject poverty following bankruptcy that lasted several years until he got hired there. It was life changing and the people there really were a lot like family. The took good care of their employees and in return the employees took great pride in their work.
After three years no birthday or Christmas gifts that weren't donated by charity I had the best Christmas ever.
Sorry for such a long comment but I just wanted it known how important that plant was for our family as well as the entire OKC community. GM used to be awesome and then came NAFTA!
