General Motors has said they will not accept any sign ups until July 13th, since they have no one working in the plant to sign off on the application. Once a member decides to sign the application, they will still have the 7 day window to rescind their signature. Members working in the plant who are interested in the SAP program can also see the benefit reps on the following schedule in the plant:
