Next time you speak to the District Managers in Oshawa, tell them that Jack has been driving his 2020 C8 24/7/365 since delivery and would be honoured to be Brand Ambassador. Photos to prove, no speculation or false promises...
Cam, as was the case 25 years ago the District Managers from Oshawa are saying today that the roll out of the E-Ray is going to be slow for Canada.
They still look at the Corvette as being a low volume product and being a small piece of the overall business, hence no effort or attention is given to the product.
My thoughts are by the time they get around to building some E-Rays for Canada we will be touching winter, hence the slow roll out for Canada.
Sorry Jack, they gave that job to Ron Fellows, but certainly if I can get them to discuss Corvette as it barely shows up on their radar, I could mention it!Next time you speak to the District Managers in Oshawa, tell them that Jack has been driving his 2020 C8 24/7/365 since delivery and would be honoured to be Brand Ambassador.

You can be the CCF Winter Brand Ambassador!Winter Brand Ambassador? I can wear a parka for photo ops...
Correct, so a 13 week strike could be about a quarter of the union workers yearly salary. If they want to go to a 32 hour work week plus get a 40% raise as well as other demands, don't tell anyone but I am hearing zero E-Ray allocations for Canada in 2023. I have just reached out to one of my contacts inside the Bowling Green plant to see how the strike vote went internally on Monday.Depends on the demands. From what I hear they want a 4 day work week. That might just be a bargaining ploy, but things like that can get really sticky. I was referring to monetary gains. Strike pay helps but there is only so much in that kitty. I've been retired for too long now, but as I recall losing 2 weeks pay = about 3.8% of your yearly salary. So 6 weeks you lose about 11% of your yearly salary with a 6 week strike. That's a lot of cash!
They want a 32 hours work week or 4 days as in 4 x 10 hours?Correct, so a 13 week strike could be about a quarter of the union workers yearly salary.

Fridays off so a 8X4 day work week equals 32 hours, plus a 40% raise. That's going to go over like a lead balloon with GM negotiators.They want a 32 hours work week or 4 days as in 4 x 10 hours?
4x 10 actually bumps productivity with one less startup/ shutdown in the week and helps employee retention with long weekends every weekend.
From what I'm told 2 shifts can't run at 10 hour shifts.They want a 32 hours work week or 4 days as in 4 x 10 hours?

Bargained at a few tables and hopefully it’s just the regular song and dance.Fridays off so a 8X4 day work week equals 32 hours, plus a 40% raise. That's going to go over like a lead balloon with GM negotiators.
They run 2, 8 hour shifts. Looks like it's going to be a long one with a 97% local agreement to strike! Damn!!From what I'm told 2 shifts can't run at 10 hour shifts.
What the what? None?Correct, so a 13 week strike could be about a quarter of the union workers yearly salary.

Cam, perhaps they got wind you were planning on driving yours in the winter and they said "no soup for you!"What the what? None?
You'd think they knew Cam was planning on winter driving and exploit it's virtues on YouTube
Blu, this time they are targeting all 3 at the same time.Has UAW designated GM as their target? They usually choose one of the
big three to strike at and then settle quickly at the remaining two manufacturers.
And I don't believe clerical staff are part of the union are they?1st E-Ray allocations should coming Sept regardless of the strike as GM needs to fill the order bank to start planning for production.
