Author    Post   Richard F L I N T O I D I heard on another website that there will be 600 new jobs coming to the Flint area due to the UAW & GM new contracts. Is this right?

"Flint did pretty good," a tired UAW Vice President Cal Rapson said Wednesday morning of the union's new, four-year tentative national agreement with GM. That was immediately after his boss, UAW President Ron Gettelfinger, announced the deal with GM. How good? According to sources at GM and the UAW who spoke today on condition of anonymity, workers at GM Powertrain Flint North, who are represented by UAW Local 599, apparently will get new work on three new engines at a greenfield site. That could protect and enhance hundreds of jobs at the union local, sources said. Generally, "greenfield" is industry-speak for a new factory at a new location. Flint North is located in the old Buick City complex on Flint's north side, one of the city's oldest industrial manufacturing sites. In addition, sources said, all plants in Genesee County will have work through the life of the contract, with no jobs outsourced.
