The COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on market demand has led General Motors Co. to lay off the third shift at its Spring Hill, Tennessee, plant.
The layoff, which comes a week after GM initially just postponed the addition of the shift, affects 680 employees at the plant where the Cadillac XT5, XT6 and GMC Acadia SUVs are built. Transfer opportunities to other plants depend on the provisions in the GM and the UAW labor agreement.
