Members of the UAW Local 2164 from the Bowling Green Assembly Plant that builds the Chevrolet Corvette are pressing management for a new contract. In a recent vote, 98 percent of the production workers and 97 percent of skilled trades workers rejected a proposed deal from the company because it didn't meet their demands.
The local union hasn't had a contract with the Bowling Green Assembly Plant's management for two years. The workers' demands include committing to use UAW members for contracted tasks like 3d printing, maintenance work, and striping, according to a report from The Bowling Green Daily News. There are also requested changes in sanitation and health and safety at the factory.
