ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Hundreds of layoffs are coming to the General Motors plant in Rochester.
Local United Auto Workers President Dan Mahoney says layoffs will happen in August and will impact about a third of the plant's hourly workforce.
Mahoney says General Motors is eliminating those jobs because it is switching to a new supplier for fuel injectors.
Another round of layoffs is expected in 18 months as General Motors begins switching to producing more electric vehicles, according to Mahoney.
