General Motors will make cuts at the Orion Assembly Pland and the Lansing Grand River Assembly.

 DETROIT -  General Motors will lay off about 1,300 workers from two of its Michigan plants. 

The job cuts at GM’s Orion Assembly and Lansing Grand River Assembly, will take place in the new year.  The layoffs at GM’s Orion plant will affect 945 employees, while 369 employees will be cut from the Lansing assembly plant.

The Orion plant produced the Chevrolet Bolt EV and Bolt EUV crossover, and GM is planning to produce additional electric vehicles, namely the Chevrolet Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV at the plant. However GM announced in October that it would be delaying the start of production. GM said that the delay was not the result of the recent United Auto Workers’ strike, which was the longest US auto strike in 25 years.

Employees who are laid off will be offered other opportunities in Michigan.

Some 370 workers at the Lansing Grand River Assembly will be laid off because production of their Camaro will come to an end.
