From Chairman Mike Bullock and President Dan Howell: Happy Veterans Day to all the Veterans who work here. Thank you for your dedicated service to our country. Also, Mike Goodin, Chairman of the Veterans Committee, has resigned. He will be replaced by Steve Melson. Thanks, Mike, for your years of service and congratulations Steve. You have our full support. Anyone interested in joining the Veterans Committee can contact Steve or call the Union Hall. Finally, applications are available for the Martin Luther King Scholarship essay contest at the entrances or at the Union Hall. And raffle tickets are now for sale from any member of the Civil Rights Committee.

November vehicle incentives are out and they run through Jan. 3, 2011. Hot sellers like the Camaro, Equinox, Terrain, Regal and Cruze get 2.9% financing and $250 employee vehicle allowance (EVA). Don’t expect to get any more than 3% off for the preferred price. Some of the bigger discounts available on 2011 models include:
o Cadillac STS $8000 total, EVA + rebate
o Buick Lucerne $6500 total, EVA + rebate
o Impala LT/LTZ $6500 total, EVA + rebate
o Tahoe $5000 total, EVA + rebate
o Malibu LT/LTZ $4000 total, EVA + rebate
o Silverado Ex/Crew $4000 total, EVA + rebate

If you can find a 2010 model you like the cash offers are somewhat larger in most cases and for some Cadillac models, much higher. For example, you get total cash off of $11,000 on Escalade, DTS and STS. For more details go to www.gmfamilyfirst.com.

From Automotive News: General Electric Co. will buy 25,000 electric vehicles, almost half of them from General Motors Co., by 2015 in the biggest such order ever.

GM's portion of the order is for 12,000 vehicles including the 2011 Chevrolet Volt. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
