General Motors Update on Operations Affected By the Work Stoppage By
The Canadian Auto Workers

WARREN, Mich., Oct. 24 -- As of 4 p.m. EDT Thursday,
October 24, 1996, there are 23,801 GM North American employees
(U.S. and Mexico) affected by the work stoppage in Canada. GM's
vehicle assembly facility in Lordstown, Ohio, was idled this afternoon
adding 5,000 employees to those employees affected.

We cannot speculate on when workers in the U.S. and Mexico will return
to their operations. In addition, we cannot speculate on additional
facilities that could be affected by the work stoppage in Canada. It
will depend on how soon GM of Canada is able to get their plants back
in operation.

Our next update will be at 11 a.m., Friday, October 25, 1996. Updates
on GM facilities affected will be available at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. each
day on PR Newswire and GM's media internet site. Audio updates are
also available by calling 800-633-8284, reservation number 2086719.
