General Motors is ending production at its Lordstown, Ohio, plant Wednesday — two days earlier than previously expected
A GM spokesperson said that's when the plant will churn out its last Chevy Cruze sedan. At that point, the factory will be unallocated, which means no vehicles will be assigned to that facility.GM planned to idle the 6.2 million-square-foot plant on Friday, but the spokesperson said production was slightly ahead of schedule.The automaker announced a major restructuring in November, including the closure of five plants in North America and the reduction of its salaried workforce by 15%.
The decision has led to blowback across the political spectrum. But General Motors says it's necessary so the company can invest more money in the cars of the future.Read MoreLast week, the United Auto Workers union sued General Motors over its plans to shutter three of the plants, including Lordstown. The union claims that the decision violates the union's labor contract. It's asking the court to order GM to reverse the closures.
