It is expected the looming cuts may wipe out half of the 600 jobs at the plant.

Since November 2016, GM has eliminated a shift of work at five U.S. plants including this announcement, eliminating a total of 5,000 jobs. This includes the cutting of shifts at Lansing and Detroit-Hamtramck.

Around 700 of the workers who have been laid off are expected to get their positions back in early 2018 when GM will ramp up production.
