CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations to all our members on the announcement of a third shift being added to the Cruze production build. This announcement is a testimony to the members of this complex to their abilities and dedication to producing the best product possible. We continue to be leaders in innovation and our team processes are an example throughout the Corporation.

INVERTED SIGN-UP

Due to many members having questions surrounding the inverted language during temporary layoffs, the following is the Local language:

"When layoffs of (5) or more working days duration resulting from change of model, plant rearrangement, or unforeseen part-time operations (up to 10 working days), employees with one or more years of seniority may make written application prior to the effective date of the layoff, during a period designated by management, stating their desire to work during the period of layoff when work in the respective non-interchangeable occupational seniority group decreases. After all employees with less than one (1) year’s seniority are laid off, the applicants with the longest seniority within their respective occupational seniority group will be retained. If there is not sufficient manpower to perform the anticipated work from those employees who have made application to work, the employees with the least seniority who have not made application will be retained. It is understood that employees not fully capable of doing the work will not be retained to replace employees who have not filed application to be retained. Furthermore, a current list of employees desiring to work under the inverted seniority provisions will be maintained by conducting a sign-up period every two (2) months: December, February, April, June, August and October. Manpower requirements during such periods will be staffed utilizing employees from these lists. An employee’s initial election will remain in effect unless changed in a subsequent sign-up period. Employees returning from an approved leave of absence, vacation, jury duty will have three (3) days to change their election if their absence was during a designated sign-up period."

The current sign-up was concluded on February 12, and will be used for the March down weeks.

VACATION SIGN-UP PERIOD

In accordance with Paragraph 202(A) of the National Agreement, February 1-26 will be the vacation application period for submitting application for time off. The weeks of June 28 and July 5, have been identified by management as the summer shutdown weeks and members will have 72 hours of their vacation allotment used for this period.

SUMMER VACATION SHUTDOWN

Management has informed the Shop Committee that the summer vacation shutdown will be the weeks of June 28 and July 5. Members not scheduled to work the week of June 28, will have 40 hours vacation deducted from their balance and for the week of July 5, 32 hours of vacation will be deducted and 8 hours of holiday pay will be received for the July 5 Holiday. Members scheduled to work during this period will be notified by management and sign-up to work for this period will be held in May. Any member wishing to make sure they have one or both of the designated weeks off should apply for them during the vacation application period.
