UAW Sues GM for hiring of temporary workers
YOUNGSTOWN — The United Auto Workers union filed a lawsuit Wednesday in U.S. District Court against General Motors over the company’s failure to transfer eligible laid-off workers from its Lordstown plant to a plant in Fort Wayne, Ind.
The lawsuit alleges GM is using temporary workers at the Fort Wayne facility instead of honoring a collective bargaining agreement that calls for 1,000 seniority employees — including 690 in Lordstown — to be transferred. The lawsuit states the collective bargaining agreement is in effect from Oct. 25, 2015 until Sept. 14, 2019.
