Two Korean opposition parties on Thursday submitted a request for a parliamentary probe into GM Korea's recent decision to shut down its plant in the southwestern city of Gunsan, party officials said.
The main opposition Liberty Korea Party and Bareunmirae Party demanded the probe, arguing that the Seoul government's response alone is not sufficient to address the issue since many local jobs are at stake.
Last month, GM Korea announced its plan to close the Gunsan plant by May, citing low productivity.
