State of the Union September 10, 2010

Sept. 10, 2010 online at www.uawlocal2250.com

From the shop floor: Brother Scott Riley in body shop wants to announce a charity BBQ to benefit Backstoppers, an organization that supports fallen law enforcement officers and their families. The BBQ will be at Bissill Hills Shopping Center, Chambers and Bellefontaine Road from 10:30 am to 6 pm, Saturday the 11th. Ribs, chicken, burgers, sandwiches and plates will be sold. Brother Riley's son, Michael, is an officer with the Bellefontaine Neighbors Police Department. Please support this worthy cause if you are in the area tomorrow.

Reminder: If you haven’t scheduled all of your vacation time (VP) you need to do so. All unused VP hours are subject to forfeiture. You can get up to 40 hours pay-in-lieu for your unused VR time. When scheduling time off, keep in mind that the Veteran’s Day observance is moved from Monday Nov. 15 to Wednesday, Nov. 24.

There is some confusion and disappointment about the new structure of employee pricing on new vehicles. Let’s look at an example:

A 2010 Chevy Silverado – 2wd, ext. cab, 5.3 V8, 6 speed auto – stickers for $33,060. The preferred price (which replaces the old GMS price) is $31,148. The employee vehicle allowance (EVA – a new component designed to make up the difference between the old GMS price and the new preferred price) is $1500, bringing the total to $29,648.

There is a $5000 rebate on the truck, which makes a final price of $24,648, or around 25% off. The preferred price is only around a 3-5% discount from the sticker, so cash back will dictate the final discount. A hot seller like the Chevy Equinox listing for $28,965 is final priced at $27,751 as there is only $250 EVA and no rebates. You can go to www.gmfamilyfirst.com for more details.
