Important changes to Vacation Shutdown Weeks: Management has notified the local leadership of their intent to use 2 weeks vacation for plant shutdown. Per Paragraph 202a of the UAW/GM National Agreement, management has identified two (2) Plant Vacation Shutdown Weeks. The first week, June 29ththrough July 3rd, will be 32 hours vacation and 8 hours holiday. The second week, August 24th through the 28th, will be 40 hours vacation.
(202a) During February of each year, the local Mgt. will notify the Shop Committee of its decision to schedule no more than two Plant Vacation Shutdown Weeks, and will identify the specific week or weeks such shutdown will occur. Plant Management may schedule the Plant Vacation Shutdown Weeks to take place during any weeks between Memorial Day and Labor Day, or, with the local union’s agreement, during other weeks more advantageous to plant operations. The National Parties may also approve certain weeks that are beneficial to both employees and business needs (e.g. product launches, holiday periods, etc.)

GM Dues Update 2-12-15
In this weeks GM Paystub, members who are still owed the Union Dues RCVR amounts from their January overcharge should see a credit for those amounts in the RCVR. Credits in this deduction category are signified by the lack of a negative sign next to the amount. When anything is deducted from a category, there is a negative sign next to the amount. For example, -$57.42 would be a deduction, while $57.42 in this column would signify a credit. Members unsure can also compare the Year to Date (YTD) columns of their last two checks. In the YTD column a credit this week would result in a lower YTD total than last week in the Union Dues RCVR category. If you have any questions on your paystubs, please call Financial Secretary Jim Stanton at 330-538-2213, ext 104.
Profit Sharing
February 4, 2015
Dear UAW-GM Team Members,
Your hard work over the course of a very challenging year contributed to GM’s 2014 positive business results. Your efforts to deliver quality products, build to schedule, and reduce cost really made a difference. Together, we helped launch many successful new vehicles for our customers, including our heavy-duty and mid-size pickups, full-size SUVs, Cadillac ATS Coupe and Chevrolet Corvette Z06. As a team, we also helped earn recognition, such as Motor Trend’s Truck of the Year Award for Chevy Colorado and J.D. Power Initial Quality Study segment leader awards for six GM vehicles. Most importantly, our products performed well in the marketplace. GM’s December sales were the best in seven years and were up by 19 percent compared to 2013.
In recognition of your contributions to GM’s 2014 adjusted EBIT performance, we are pleased to announce that eligible UAW-GM team members will receive a maximum profit sharing payout of $7,000. Eligible hourly employees also will receive a special performance payment totaling up to $2,000. Combined, the variable payouts amount to a maximum of $9,000 and are the largest employees have ever received. These payouts recognize your hard work, a key factor in GM’s strong core operating performance during a very challenging year, and reflect the importance we place on sharing GM’s success. The payments will be made on February 27.
According to the 2011 National Agreement, eligible UAW-GM team members who worked the entire year (1,850 compensated hours) will receive the maximum profit sharing payouts. Regular full-time employees on roll as of December 31, 2014, who worked only part of the year will receive pro-rated amounts based on the number of hours worked.
While GM’s financial performance was strong in 2014, we must continue to raise the bar in this very competitive market and build on the positive momentum our team has started. We must strive to improve quality for our customers, grow market share, and deliver on our financial commitments in 2015 and beyond. When we work together, we win together.
We congratulate and thank you for your contributions.

GM DUES CORRECTIONS 2/3/2015
GM DUES CORRECTIONS UPDATE 2/3/15-After further review of the GM members’ dues data with GM and Xerox, it was determined that the data they had was still not accurate enough to both credit members back any overcharges for January, and deduct any under charges for the months members had only paid 2.0 hours (November and January). After much deliberation, GM has agreed to do the following in this Friday’s paycheck for any members affected by the overcharges under the code Union Dues RCVR:
*All GM UAW members will still have their normal 2.5 hours dues deducted for February
*Any member who had the extra Union Dues RCVR deducted in January will have that amount credited back in the same paycheck. That amount may vary depending on the individual as some members had an extra hour, while some members were charged an extra two hours. Some members will see no credits at all as they have paid the correct amount for the time period in question.
After this is done, we will still have to address the fact that many members are still in arrears by either .1/2 hour, or 1 hour, depending on what they paid in November and January. That amount, which was originally scheduled to be deducted in February (before the extra dues charges occurred in January), will now be scheduled to be resolved in the March 2015 dues deduction period. Once again we thank you for your patience as we try to work through this to insure each of our over 2500 GM UAW members dues payments are accurately processed. Should you have any further questions, please call Financial Secretary Jim Stanton at 330-538-2213, ext. 104

Winner 2014 United Way Campaign Giveaway
CONGRATULATIONS to Lordstown’s Michelle Bieber (Chassis One, second shift), winner of the United Way’s 2014 Mahoning and Trumbull County campaign giveaway courtesy of Greenwood Chevrolet. She took home a prize of $15,000 cash.
Michelle was one of ten finalists who participated at an event Wednesday night at the Austintown, Ohio Chevrolet dealership. Each finalist was given a key and if their key started a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado, they were declared the winner. Michelle was the 8th finalist to try and start the vehicle as the excitement got down to the final three contestants.
The United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley and the United Way of Trumbull County each chose five generous donors from the past year to attempt to start the vehicle in the Greenwood showroom. In order to qualify for a chance in the drawing, donors had to contribute at least $4 or more per week in 2014 United Way campaign. The prizes included a choice of a two year lease on a Volt or Silverado, or the cash prize. Michelle chose the cash because she is happy with her current GM vehicle.
