General Motors Update on Operations Affected By the Work Stoppage by the Canadian Auto Workers
 
WARREN, Mich., Oct. 25 -- As of 4 p.m. EDT Friday,
October 25, 1996, there are 23,340 GM North American employees
(U.S. and Mexico) affected by the work stoppage in Canada.  There has
been no change in the status of operations since our report this
morning.

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. Monday, October 28, 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.
