"Based on the information of which we are currently aware, the layoffs are expected to last longer than six months," the WARN letter continued. "Should General Motors allocate a future product to Lordstown Assembly, we would hope to be selected as the seat supplier, which may allow us to recall a significant number of employees. If a future product is not allocated by General Motors and/or we are not selected as the seat supplier for the future product, these layoffs should be considered permanent."
