Message from Joe Ashton and Jim Glynn
UAW-GM Team Members,
We’re pleased to remind you that eligible UAW-GM employees as defined by Paragraph 101(b) of the 2011 National Agreement will receive $1,000 lump sum payments on June 7, 2013.
This payment reflects the shared commitment on the part of the UAW and GM to strengthen the business and do what’s right for our employees. The National Contract positions GM for success, enabling continued investment in U.S. manufacturing and new jobs for thousands of Americans. Since the beginning of this year alone, GM has announced facility investments in the U.S. totaling more than $1.2 billion and over 4,250 created or retained jobs. Together, we're committed to supporting the company's long-term, sustainable growth.
As we all know, success in our business is about producing vehicles that excite customers and drive them to the showroom. Over the course of this year and next, GM will introduce 27 new or refreshed vehicles to the marketplace. That’s an average of at least one new or redesigned vehicle each month. Through the efforts of many of you this summer, we’ll see the launch of the new Cadillac CTS, Buick LaCrosse, GMC Sierra, Chevrolet Silverado, Corvette and Malibu (refresh).
We all have a hand in the success of these new vehicles. In fact, there’s nothing more important that we can do as a UAW-GM team than delivering top quality for our customers. Whether you work in vehicle assembly, stamping, powertrain, components or service parts, everyone has a role to play in ensuring new vehicle owners have a positive experience. We encourage you to keep up the good work and take advantage of opportunities to share your quality improvement ideas.
We appreciate your terrific efforts so far this year and hope you can find time to enjoy the summer.
