Unionized GM plant adds third shift

[Chris]

ARLINGTON -- General Motors will add a third shift and about 800 jobs to its Arlington truck assembly plant early next year, the company announced Friday, a boost that adds to previously announced expansions.

In total, GM will now add upwards of 1,100 employees to the Arlington plant's payroll in the next year as it prepares to launch a new line of large SUVs for the 2014 model year. Workers have been putting in overtime to meet production demands for the plant's SUVs.

That's fantastic ! I guess the citizenry in BRICS will be awaiting them.
Hint: That's not actually a sign of "recovery". It's a sign of developing countries citizens looking to be CONnedSumers.

Do you ever get tired of this? really

If the left is able to think without becoming hysterical they might consider that there are two types of unions. Labor unions make products that we presumably purchase and Municipal unions are paid by taxpayers including labor union workers. Even a high profile democrat like Rahm Emanuel who was elected mayor of Chicago is fighting municipal unions who are sucking the City dry with elaborate demands. My guess is that the Chevy plant in Texas hired a 3rd shift in spite of unions not because of them.

No, because it is going to win us Ohio and Michigan.

and GM said back, "no chance we'll build Yukons and Escalades in Michigan, but rather in right-to-work Texas"

...and the union was forced to work with GM here, because unlike in Michigan, they can't force these newly hired workers to pay union dues


The growth at Arlington validates local union leaders' decisions over the years to work with plant management.

"We decided a long time ago to take a different approach," said Belinda Langley, the union's shop chairwoman at the plant. "We want to make sure GM is successful."
