GENERAL Motors will cut about 1,000 salaried workers globally in a move to streamline its operations, according to people familiar with the matter.

“In order to win in this competitive market, we need to optimise for speed and excellence,” GM spokesman Kevin Kelly said in an email. “This includes operating with efficiency, ensuring we have the right team structure, and focusing on our top priorities as a business.” BLOOMBERG
