General Motors Co. says it will idle its pickup truck plant in Flint, Mich., for most of July to update the facility’s assembly lines.
The four-week shutdown will idle nearly 3,200 people, most of them hourly workers. The factory has already received new body, paint and trim operations. GM says it has invested some $1.5 billion in the plant, its oldest facility in North America, since 2013.
When workers return, they will resume building the same models: light- and medium-duty Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra fullsize pickup trucks.
