Union wants management off the GM assembly line or workers will strike

November 4, 2024 // “If I didn’t have to get national authorization, I would have struck on Oct. 2,” LeTourneau said. Two other GM plants – Bowling Green (Kentucky) GM that produces Corvettes and Tonawonda Engine in New York are also refusing to accept management on their lines. Both plants refused to “exploit temporary workers,” LeTourneau said. “If you’re not going to hire them, they’re not helping us.” The problem is that part-time temporary workers who work 32 hours a week can be strung along as temps “forever” because there’s no provision to hire them. They have to be temps for nine months in order to get hired, LeTourneau said.
