"Chevrolet Plant Shifts into Gear: No More Reprieves for Third Shift. In a move that will likely impact hundreds of workers, the manufacturer of Chevy Silverado pickups has announced that it will not be extending the reprieve on cutting the third shift at its plant. The decision comes after a brief delay in the fall, when strong demand for the popular pickup trucks kept the production line humming. Despite the initial reprieve, it appears that the demand has finally cooled enough to allow the automaker to make the necessary adjustments, sparking concerns about the future of jobs at the facility."
The automaker delayed cutting the third shift last fall given strong demand for the Chevy Silverado pickups built at the plant, but said Jan. 27 that no further extension is planned.
