On Monday, General Motors announced it's delaying a second production shift at its Fairfax Assembly Plant.

"That's going to be one shift of production," said UAW Local 31 President Dontay Wilson.

Before the announcement, General Motors would begin another shift of production, slated to begin in early Spring 2026.

"That wouldve been two shifts of production," Wilson said. "That has been delayed. It is now going to be out at a later date and no date has been set."
