Exclusive: GM-LG battery company delays return of laid-off workers to Ohio plant
The Ultium Cells plant, jointly owned by General Motors and LG Energy Solution, has delayed the return of laid-off workers in Ohio until August due to weak demand for electric vehicles. Hundreds of employees were initially told to expect to return in June but received an internal announcement pushing the date back. The plant had previously laid off 850 workers temporarily and 480 permanently last fall, providing battery cells for GM's EVs.
