General Motors Corp., in the second announcement of job cuts in as many days, said today it will eliminate 3,200 jobs indefinitely at three plants that build mid-size cars.

The world’s largest auto maker had said Wednesday it is laying off more than 2,050 workers at two plants that make its compact Chevrolet Corsica and Beretta models because of weak sales.

GM spokeswoman Nettie Seabrooks said today that the second shift will be cut and 1,900 workers indefinitely laid off effective Feb. 26, at the Doraville, Ga., plant, which builds the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. .

In addition, output will be reduced indefinitely at GM’s Oklahoma City plant effective March 26, with 600 assembly line jobs cut, she said. The plant builds the Buick Century, the Pontiac 6000 STE and Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera.
