Overview

• Two shifts at the Detroit-Hamtramck plant will be paused, halting assembly of the GMC Hummer EV and Cadillac Escalade IQ.
• The temporary action will idle 160 workers, bringing total affected at the site to about 360 when combined with April’s 200 layoffs.
• GM describes the scheduling change as a standard adjustment to match current demand and control vehicle stock levels.
• Impacted employees will be placed on temporary layoff with potential eligibility for subpay and benefits under the GM–UAW contract.
• Factory ZERO employs about 4,000 people and also builds the Silverado EV and Sierra Denali, as U.S. electric pickup sales slipped roughly 4% in the first half of 2025.
