General Motors Co. is cutting more than 1,300 hourly jobs at a pair of plants in Michigan, less than a month after a new labor contract was ratified by its unionized workforce.
The automaker said in filings with state regulators Thursday that a plant in Lake Orion, Michigan, outside Detroit will lay off 945 employees and a facility in Lansing, Michigan, will lose 369 workers. The staff reductions at both factories are effective as of Jan. 1.
