The layoffs are a result of General Motors' November announcement that it will close several underused plants, including Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant in Detroit and Warren Transmission Operations in Warren. Other plants closing include the Oshawa Assembly Plant in Oshawa, Ontario, the Lordstown Assembly in Warren, Ohio and the Baltimore Operations in White Marsh, Maryland.
According to IMA-Detroit's human resources manager, "the layoff is expected to be for an indefinite period of greater than six months."
