Massive Layoffs at General Motors, This is the Root Cause

"General Motors Massive Layoffs, This is the Root Cause"

Dream - The largest car manufacturer in the United States (US), General Motors (GM), will lay off 1,300 workers at two car plants in Michigan in early January 2024. GM said that 945 workers will be laid off at the Orion Assembly plant, which will end production of the Chevrolet Bolt EV and be converted for the production of electric trucks that will begin at the end of 2025. Meanwhile, the final production of the Bolt at Orion will start next week.

"GM Production"

According to Reuters, as many as 350 out of 1,400 workers at the Lansing Grand River plant will be laid off due to the end of Chevrolet Camaro production, but the plant will continue to produce Cadillac CT4 and Cadillac CT5.

"Fate of Affected Employees"

GM also said that workers affected will be offered positions in other factories.

"Dismissal of Biang Kerok"

GM revealed in October that they are postponing the production of electric pickup trucks at the Orion factory for one year, resulting in layoffs that affect all production workers at the factory.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: "Originally, this Detroit-based car manufacturer was planning to start production of electric Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra by the end of 2024 at the suburban Detroit factory."

CEO GM, Mary Barra, said that the delay in truck production will allow the company to do engineering and other changes that will make the truck more efficient and its production cheaper, thus more profitable.

GM, who has pledged to stop selling gas-powered vehicles by 2035, in October said they will abandon their target to make 400,000 electric cars from 2022 to mid-2024.

Rival GM, Ford (F.N), in October announced temporarily cutting one shift at its factory that builds the F-150 Lightning EV.

Ford told suppliers this week that they plan to produce around 1,600 F-150 Lightning EV electric trucks per week starting in January 2024, about half of the previously planned 3,200 trucks.
