Shreveport General Motors plant loses work.

Shreveport's General Motors plant will shut down for an extra two weeks. The plant manager, Michael Dulaney, tells Nbc 6 the reason is because demand for the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon is down.

The two additional weeks are for May 3rd and May 10th. Workers will receive supplemental pay during the shutdown.

"We understand the plant is struggling and has to do what it can to catch up with inventory," GM worker James Ford says.

"I didn't think about it because I've been here long enough to know that could change," GM worker Shirley Hunter says.

Dulaney says if more people start buying Shreveport made trucks the plant could increase production.
