ANALYSIS :
This resolution makes the following legislative findings:
1. California once boasted eight automobile manufacturing
plants, however, today California has the only remaining
automobile manufacturing plant in the western United
States.
2. The New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc. (NUMMI) located
in Fremont, represents a 50-50 joint venture formed in
1984 between General Motors Corporation and Toyota Motor
Corporation.
3. NUMMI produces 250,000 cars and 170,000 trucks on an
annual basis, and employees, 4,700 workers throughout
the San Francisco Bay Area and supports over 15,000 more
workers throughout the state.
4. NUMMI supports local economies and major industries in
all areas of the state by purchasing products from over
1,000 suppliers, vendors and small-parts manufacturers.
5. General Motors recently declared bankruptcy thereby
relinquishing its shares in NUMMI to Toyota or any other
entity willing to purchase those shares.
6. The loss of NUMMI from California will have a
longstanding and devastating impact on the people and
economy of California.
This resolution declares that it is the Legislature's
priority to take swift and decisive action to protect its
workers and industries, and further recognizes the
necessity of the Legislature to utilize its vested powers
to keep NUMMI in California.
