GM to Make 100 Temps Permanent at Truck Assembly Plant
WENTZVILLE, MO—General Motors is converting 100 temporary workers at its truck assembly plant here to permanent jobs as the automaker ramps up production at the facility.
The conversion comes in the wake of news that GM was using volunteer salaried employees on the assembly line at the Wentzville plant because of high absenteeism amid the coronavirus pandemic. The UAW objected to the use of salaried workers in union jobs, calling it a violation of its 2019 contract with the automaker and filing a grievance over the issue.
