GM's restart date at Ohio battery plant uncertain

General Motors’ joint-venture battery company is recalling a small number of workers to an idled EV battery factory in Ohio this month, but the larger recall of hundreds of laid-off workers remains uncertain. The update suggests limited near-term operational improvement, but it does not yet confirm a broader restart. The news is mildly negative for labor and production visibility at the facility.
