[QUOTE="gone, post: 203833, member: 5899"] Here's an idea: if we can get the United Auto Workers Union on side and perhaps it'll be more inclined to do this, since it continues to avoid exposing their workers to any COVID-19 risk, how about: 1) take all expectant C8 owners who are now out of a job, currently at home and in need of something to do, and want to participate in a voluntary once-in-a-liftime experience; 2) each volunteer agree to commit to a minimum of 1 month, or until Bowling Green resumes its normal operations, whichever comes first, plus give at least one option to renew the agreement for that same month; 3) each volunteer and his/her spouse or significant other, sign an iron-clad waiver where they can't sue GM for anything COVID-related, plus provide a recent (no older than 2 days) Doctor certificate confirming they are COVID-free, healthy and able to do some medium to heavy manual labour, and with none being under the age of 50 to better mitigate COVID's potential fatal consequences (notarized birth certificate required with all applications; sorry to you older C8 fans); 4) send them all down to Bowling Green with GM paying for their return transportation, plus room and board, plus return transportation from their place of residence to the plant. Each volunteer to be retested for COVID-19 upon arrival and again, at the end of the agreement before returning home. There would also have to be spot-checks periodically during each shift and each volunteer would of course have to immediately report any COVID-like symptoms. Perhaps each worker could have their temperature taken at the start and end of each shift as an additional precaution; 5) train them for individual tasks on the production line (2 or 3 days training???); 6) restart the plant with these "volunteers" (#4 above being their only "payment"), employing safe distancing and cleaning each station between individual workers; 7) GM to look after any COVID-related healthcare costs for these volunteers, if they can't make it back in time to Canada's healthcare system or properly access the Kentucky healthcare system, as the case may be; 8) start cranking out C8's, with added quality control attention for each phase of production, due to all these greenhorns putting C8's together. As a start, we'll need these volunteers declared a "Corvette C8 essential service" to make the U.S. and Canada happy and be granted cross-border access. Is there anyone on these Forums who has the necessary background and skills to look into that aspect and start the paperwork? It's a complete win-win: everyone stands a better chance of getting their [U]2020 [/U]C8...plus they'll not die of boredom sitting around at home, plus they lessen the (at a minimum for food) financial burden they're now creating at home, and they'll have a great story to tell their grandkids later when proudly looking at photos of their first C8 20 years from now. As well, GM will get much needed income and fewer complaints about C8 quality, when some of their audience is responsible for that quality. I realize this plan will need a [U]little[/U] tweaking here and there, so I invite your comments/contributions. As well, all those interested and who qualify age and health-wise, feel free to add your name as a volunteer to this posting... You heard it here first folks. :cool: [/QUOTE]
