The automaker is cutting blue-collar and white-collar staff, though many of the hourly employees will remain on the job until their factories complete the build-out of targeted models like the Chevrolet Cruze built in Lordstown, Ohio, as well as the Cadillac XTS rolling off an assembly line in Detroit. In all, the automaker plans to eliminate six slow-selling passenger car lines that include the Cadillac flagship, the CT6 sedan, as well as its first plug-in hybrid, the Chevy Volt. Prior to announcing the cuts, GM had hoped to reduce its workforce through voluntary buyouts offered to 17,700 employees, but the acceptance rate initially was low.
