UAW members who lose their jobs at the Orion plant will "be offered other opportunities in Michigan, including positions at Factory ZERO in Detroit-Hamtramck," GM said. "Orion Assembly salaried employees will also be placed in other internal opportunities in accordance with GM policy.", GM, via statement.
