With 2023 Model Year production of the Bowling Green-assembled Corvette set to commence mid-year, Chevrolet is hoping to supply as many C8s to eager customers as possible, following setbacks caused by a tornado that tore through the factory and destroyed a great number of vehicles. But workers on the production line are not happy with their labor conditions, many of them working without a local contract. This is according to the Bowling Green Daily News that spoke to Jason Watson, a shop chairman for UAW Local 2164.
Some of the issues perturbing workers include worries around health and safety. They also want a commitment from America’s biggest carmaker to use UAW members for tasks such as maintenance work and 3D printing – work that is currently contracted.
