Bowling Green News reports GM Corvette Plant May Be Affected
According to the Bowling Green Daily News, the new General Motors restructuring may affect the GM assembly plant located in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The story, written by Justin Story in the July 16, 2008 issue of the Daily News, says that due to GM's plan to save cash, changes may be on the way.
The Daily News reported, "Our plant will be impacted by the salary reduction and by many of the other items announced yesterday,” said Andrea Hales, a spokeswoman for the Corvette plant. Hales said she was unable to elaborate on how specifically the Corvette plant would be impacted by the restructuring."
GM had no choice but to make chances due to the economy and rising fuel prices. The Daily News says that, "Eldon Renaud, who leads the United Auto Workers Local 2164, did not return several calls seeking comment, but had previously told the Daily News that he felt optimistic that the Corvette plant would weather the restructuring, with hourly employees on the manufacturing line expected to survive the job cuts."
The question is whether this will affect the supply or production of the Corvette. If the UAW decides to take any action, it could have an adverse reaction on our favorite sports car.
