GM Lordstown complex shutdown extended to Aug. 3

LORDSTOWN — The extended shutdown of the General Motors’ complex here has been made even longer.

GM has added three weeks to this summer’s extra-long shutdown in order to reduce the supply of Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s at car dealers.

GM said in April it would close the complex for six weeks instead of the normal two weeks this summer. The shutdown started June 1, and workers were to return July 13.

Jim Graham, president of United Auto Workers Local 1112, said today that workers now are to return Aug. 3.
