There’s been a lot of news surrounding General Motors
in the past few months, from four plants that will go idle onto
restructuring plans and more. Now, with the announcement of an
all-electric Cadillac, this has prompted the United Auto Workers (UAW) to looks to secure jobs.
The UAW urges GM to commit to U.S. production of new EVs:
“General Motors builds some of the finest cars, trucks, crossovers, SUVs and vans right here in the USA. We are hopeful that these new products will be built here to show a commitment to all of America. We invested in GM. Now it is time for GM to invest its future in us.”
As
we know, GM is developing an all-new modular platform for a family of
profitable EVs (various body styles). Cadillac, as the first to
introduce its BEV, means that decisions will need to be made soon.
Employees from plants designated for closure probably hope for new
opportunities.
At the current stage, GM didn’t announce new EV
models or where those new models will be produced. However, we would be
surprised if it’s not in the U.S.
