GM to shed over 500 jobs in US
Approximately 160 employees will be laid off during 2015 at a factory in Orion, Michigan to "better align with market demand," the company said in an email to AFP, and a plant in Lansing, in the same state, will eliminate 350 of its 1,500 positions for the same reason.
"GM is committed to a strong and lasting presence in Lansing," a spokesman said, adding that the US auto giant had pledged $281.5 million in investment for Lansing-based facilities since 2013.
General Motors last month reported lower third-quarter earnings on weakness in some international markets.
GM is under investigation by Congress, regulators and the US Justice Department over why it waited more than a decade after first uncovering the ignition-switch problem to start recalling cars.
