In what may be a surprise for many UAW-represented workers at General Motors, the profit-sharing checks this year will top those they got last year despite a year plagued with production disruption due to the global shortage of semiconductor chips.
On Tuesday, General Motors said about 42,500 U.S. hourly workers at GM will receive a profit-sharing check of $10,250 this month. The before-taxes payout for its UAW-represented workforce for the year 2021 is a boost from $9,000 in 2020.
