General Motors will start a third production shift at its Wentzville assembly plant, adding 750 jobs and deepening the automaker's commitment to the facility. The third shift will begin in the first quarter of 2015, said Nancy Laubenthal, GM Wentzville's plant manager, told the Post-Dispatch. The Wentzville plant, which currently builds Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana full-size vans, has 2,600 employees, and the added shift will bring employment to 3,350. The plant also will soon start making GM's next generation midsize pickups, the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon.
