Car brand stops production – the employees have to watch football

At General Motors' factory in the American city of Flint, the employees get a break when there is a football match on Sunday.

There was actually supposed to be a shift team at General Motors' car factory in the American city of Flint on Sunday at 21.45 local time.

But their shift is now postponed by an hour because the employees want to watch football. American football, of course.

The Detroit News writes that.

The delay will enable the employees to watch the last of the so-called 'NFC Championship' match, before work begins.

– We are aware that this is a rare moment in Detroit's history. And we want our employees to enjoy the moment, says a GM spokesman to the media.

At the factory in Flint, where production will soon be at a standstill for a short notice, General Motors builds the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra cars.

It is the first time since 1992 that the local football team from Flint, Michigan has made it all the way to the finals of the NFC league.
