At one point last summer, GM decided to discontinue the Bolt at the end of the year. They later changed their mind, but are changing the battery pack technology so it will take some time to retool the plant. Who is going to buy an EV truck that has lousy towing capabilities? Even if one doesn’t tow anything the resale value is likely to be low..

Reads like nobody will actually be out of work. Per union rules, they’ll create positions to keep them on the payroll somewhere else in GM.

A Federal Mandate that ALL Public Employee’s NATIONWIDE exclusively use non carbon emitting modes of Transportation for ALL Travel to and from their respective workplace and ALL Work related Travel would fix the problem.

Are they cutting 1300 workers or 1300 jobs?
If it is the former, I hope they got lots of bandaids.

That’s the odd part. To my understanding Bolt’s were selling well but GM leadership want to discontinue them to free up capacity for other EV models.
It’s very strange, especially with the other EV news of pulling back production in general.
That said - I know one of the Orion plant maintenance foremen. He is exceptional - was promised he had a ‘job for life’ (sigh). If anyone knows of an opening please let me know.

Ending production of one of the only vehicles that people actually want to buy makes great business sense.

It’s ‘bait & switch’ for the stock holders.
To try and prevent the stock from crashing.
Say it’s for one thing when actually it’s for another.
Hoping that in the meantime the situation blows over............
