Late last week your Shop Chairman, Ben Strickland and Vice President, Glenn Johnson were in Detroit in order to hear an overview pertaining to UAW and General Motors. We were informed on many issues relating to our overall direction moving forward. As your Leadership we continue to deliver our message of job security for now and in the future. We continue to work hard so that every member can maintain a job and a secure future here at Lordstown.
Profit Sharing: Just two years after we were rescued and reconstituted through bankruptcy and government loans, General Motors cruised through 2011 to post the largest profits in their history. GM may have a hard time breaking this record in 2012 because of slow sales in Europe and South America. US sales growth has also slowed in the past three months. Even with these slower sales the overall Global Sales performance still earned 7.6 billion dollars for the year, beating the record of 6.7 billion set during the truck boom in 1997.
