Hello everyone! I was part of the February 4th layoffs. (Over 40 with cancer... long story) My previous posting has aged a bit so I am starting a new thread. First I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone that contacted me with helpful... — read more

Top to bottom this article is a crock of S*°T This woman will destroy GM. It one big finger pointing article geared toward an odd unnecessary agenda, let's cloud people with BS and redirect them from the truth. We care about the product Mary and... — read more
The circus is in town permanently
So WTC Facilities hires yet ANOTHER Community Leader with no facilities training, skills, or experience. I’m all for giving people opportunities, but gradually move them up, don’t throw them in the fire. No qualifications equals no credibility... — read more
Does Gm have a chance with Tesla new Truck?
Just read a blog for Tesla new SuperTruck? Should GM worry? I would think so. Although GM new Trucks (2018 - 2019) are amazing. The Dashboard will need a upgrade with Tesla's dash design. GM IT team should be happy to here this. But should employees... — read more
Blacklisted from getting another job at GM?
I was salary laid off from back in February. I am under 40 years old. In my separation packet I got a page that said I am eligible to apply again and my past employment with the company would be taken into consideration. I have applied to many jobs... — read more
Is GM too big to fail?
I'm thinking yes. Whatever happens, the company will be still standing in the end.
And the greedy GM executives win again. Never buy a GM product as long as I live.
I feel bad for all the contract and salaried folks that were needllesly fired last year, what exactly did the uaw employees gain?
GM broke the contract and closed plants, uaw is all good with that.
Contract employees loose , uaw and salary wins I was a good technician at GM Global propulsion systems, No path for me to get hired direct. This is only for the line worker, what happens to contract technicians?
GM is hiring still, even with the strike.
Slowly hiring, even contract folks again. How many of you feel that this zero EV movement is more politically driven than actual ? My thought is we will have both ICE and electric offerings at the same time for decades to come. More of a wide... — read more
Owning or leasing a vehicle is a liability,
It's going to be used cars until I retire. I'd rather drive a good solid used car from this day forward
Who won?
If stock price goes down once ratified, the UAW won. If stock price stays the same or goes up, GM won. Prove me wrong.
Retiree health care
Has GM tripled retiree health care similar to Ford ?
Unbelievable
$11000 bonus and they are still picketing!!! What else do you guys want! Go back to work and earn your money for a change instead of aggravating hardworking fulltime employees at the tech center!
congrats!
To all the UAW workers for standing your ground while standing toe to toe with a 1200 pound gorilla! Good fight!
Warranty parts center in lake Orion in non union, does this mean we will be hired uaw employees?
We look at all GM engines, transmissions and other parts for GM, we are located in a UPS facility hidden from the UAW. We are contract employees, does this mean we will be hired if the contract goes through? Or have a chance.
Tolerance level
Quoting Reuters After GM angered the UAW negotiators last week by appealing directly to workers and revealing details of the No. 1 U.S. automaker’s latest offer, the sides have continued talking. The UAW made a counter offer to GM on... — read more
UAW overplayed their hand
Workers are missing loan payments and it’s beyond clear GM is not budging on temps or allocating products. GM just sweetened their offer and the union is backed into a corner because they can’t give members the guaranteed jobs they promised.
Strike Affecting GM Financial?
I work at GM Financial and things are not looking good. We have a larger balance sheet than last year but we have lower earnings which does not make sense. Poor performance is the only explanation. On top of this, with GM producing fewer cars due... — read more
UAW Fight about Mexican Workers
Don't think the UAW will win the fight about jobs moving south. I've seen the Mexico workforce grow by 2,000 workers over the past three years with at least 20 product launches in Silao, San Luis Potosi, and Toluca over the next few years. Sorry... — read more
UAW Lockout Friday
Anybody heard of potential lockout by the U Ain't Workers on Friday at the tech centre? Rumor of Ford and Chrysler workers picketing so no one can enter....
Are there engienering layoffs coming to warren?
Just curious. Given the strike and all.
Where is our fearless leader?
Mary Barra loves the camera and spotlight. She went on her political/PR tour whenever a token investment was made in a plant- PR machine and photographers in tow. Now that the company is in a crises situation, she is nowhere to be found. Great... — read more
I feel like the ladies and gentlemen of the UAW are standing up for all of us in the middle class, thank you.
Best wishes and prayers are with you To everyone working at GM.
come on UAW
Sign the darn deal already. UAW needs GM more than GM needs UAW. If youre lucky, you can have your jobs for another 2-3 years while GM goes electric
It won't be long beforeGM becomes irrelevant,
GM has left all markets in the world because they can't make a profit, aside from US, and China for the moment. With GM alienating many of their US customer base, and China floundering in sales, it won't be long before they become irrelevant, a... — read more
IT, make sure that resume is up to date
If I were IT, I’d make sure that resume is ready. The longer the strike goes on and GM is losing big money daily, WFRs are the quickest way to get some money back. And with Mott being head of IT, he’s big on WFRs. Keep in mind, they were making money... — read more
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Benefits
anyone received a notice of eligibility to APPLY for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Benefits from Michigan Works? What is this? are you eligible for any benefits if you've found a job with less pay and still looking for a better opportunity?
lack of appreciation
Anyone feeling like their leaders are treating them like an id–t nowadays since the company is going through a rough patch? I'm the same hard worker I was during the boom five years ago!
