MISHAWAKA, Ind. (WNDU) – The company that builds electric vehicles in Mishawaka found itself on the front page of the Wall Street Journal this week.
In September, all appeared to be fine as the first electric delivery van of Electric Last Mile Solutions rolled off the production line at the former commercial Hummer plant in Mishawaka.
But 16 News Now has learned that about a week later, objections were made about the hiring of the first 20 or so production workers at the plant.
Documents on file with the National Labor Relations Board were obtained by 16 News Now. UAW Local 5 claims that ELMS refused to recognize the union, refused to fill job openings with furloughed union members, and hired new employees off the street.
