ReElement Technologies stock soars after securing $1.4B government deal
Investing.com -- General Motors Co. has notified approximately 5,500 employees across three plants that they are being laid off as the automaker reassesses its electric vehicle production following President Donald Trump’s move to eliminate key tax credits.
The layoffs include 3,400 workers who were furloughed over the summer at GM’s Factory Zero plant in Detroit, where the company manufactures the electric Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, and Hummer EVs. GM announced Wednesday that it will bring back about 1,200 of these employees in January when the plant resumes operations on a single shift. The remaining 2,200 workers will face indefinite furloughs.
In related actions, GM laid off 1,400 workers at its Ultium battery plant in Warren, Ohio, and another 710 employees at its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. According to company spokesman Kevin Kelly, about 850 Ohio workers may return to work in May, while 550 of the Ohio layoffs are considered indefinite. The Tennessee layoffs are temporary.
