From Chairman Mike Bullock: Management has informed the union of the need for an additional 700 vans between Labor Day and Christmas. This order came from one of our bigger customers. Our current production schedule is 10.5 hours off K-line and 2 out of three Fridays at 10.5 hours off K-line. Management has proposed two change options to our production schedule to build these vans. One, they are requesting we agree to work three additional Fridays at 8 hours each day, The available "off" Fridays for them to choose from are September 24, October 15, November 5 and December 17. Or two, revert back to Plan B of the Overtime Memorandum and work up to six Saturdays. We will be taking questions or comments to this schedule change all week.
We have been told that there is enough material to run through Wednesday.
We will be going over some of the details regarding the Tuition Assistance Plan (TAP) that was recently reinstated. To be eligible an active worker must be UAW represented and either active or on temporary layoff (entry-level and medical leaves are not eligible). The benefit levels are $5000 per calendar year with up to $200 for books for degree-related courses at accredited colleges. Up to $2200 is available per year for other job related courses and $1450 per year for skill enhancement courses (all classes related to sports, games and hobbies are no longer eligible). Each course will be reviewed and categorized as well as approved before the start date of the course. At this time, all TAP applications must be mailed or faxed to the UAW-GM Center for Human Resources no later than 21 days but no earlier than 90 days to the start of the class. Forms are available at Personnel. All schools or institutions participating in this plan must be approved the UAW-GM TAP administration and must be accredited, licensed by the state in which they operate or approved by government education or training programs.
