General Motors has announced that they will be suspending the third shift at its Lansing Delta Township assembly plant in May of 2017.

Earlier in 2016, the automotive manufacturer announced that the latest generation of the GMC Acadia would be built at the Spring Hill Tennessee plant. As a result of the move to Tennessee, production of the previous generation of Acadias at the Delta Township plant will stop in May of 2017, ending the need for a third shift.

Suspension of the third shift will affect around 1,100 workers. Layoff notices were distributed to workers at the plant beginning Monday March 6, 2017.

Erin Davis of General Motors says the Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse will continue to be built at Lansing Delta Township. All-new versions of both models will be built at LDT this year.
