AAG is not the only GM supplier to pull out of the area. Lear Corporation, which supplies seating systems and interiors, announced it will idle about 370 workers, and two other companies that stage materials for the GM assembly line, Flint Services and LSI, will lay off about 190 workers collectively. GM announced in June it would cease operations in Janesville by 2010 or sooner, depending on economic conditions. This closing will affect about 1,200 employees, according to GM spokesperson Chris Lee. "With high gas prices and the tight economy … the difficult decision was made to cease operations at the plant by the end of this year," Lee said. The Janesville GM plant is one of two full-size SUV plants in the United States, the other being located in Arlington, Texas. Appleton Papers is another company facing problems in this waning economy.
