🗳️👍 All in favor, say "yay!" Workers in the GM-LG joint battery plant in Ohio have voted to unionize. The vote was overwhelmingly in favor of joining the United Auto Workers, with 710 votes in support, making 98% of the votes.
🔧🤷♀️ The vote is done. Can we build some cars now? CEO Mary Barra expressed support for worker rights to unionize before the vote took place and said she hopes a union agreement is reached as soon as possible. At an event in Detroit, she said workers want job security and appropriate compensation. She went on to say nobody knows what next year's economic situation will be.
🗓️🚗 2023 ain't so scary once you get to know 'em. Barra says GM's new car sales in the US for 2023 are projected to reach 15M. Up from a projected 14.7M this year, the company says demand remains strong, and it expects new vehicle sales to rebound next year.
