WARNING!

October 11, 2010

The 2009 UAW-GM contract “modifications” included these innocent-looking clauses: “… innovative labor agreement provisions will have to be put in place so that such production can be done profitably …” and “The Company and the Union will work together … to arrive at innovative ways to staff these operations.

The Company and the Union “worked together” to cut wages of nearly half the seniority workers at Lake Orion Assembly down to $15 an hour! They claim that “innovative” means “blank check.”

Stop payment!
