Default Corvette can help end strike

This is one of the deals gm made to help end the strike.
Looks like they need a product that they can guarantee work for the uaw.
With the Corvette’s guaranteed sales
This is the quote



Or let’s say GM adds another shift to its assembly plant and adds 1,000 new production employees," said Lightbody. "What remains to be seen is does GM have the ability to hire those 1,000 new employees as temps to initially staff that shift and keep them as temps for two years before making them full time employees? That would save them a ton of money."

$11000 signing bonuses? Who’s going to pay for that? Doubt the 30 or 40 k of corvettes built a year was even an item. Volume drives these decisions.

It is a bit of a bump from the $8000 last time, but large ratification bonuses are pretty standard in UAW negotiations.

And yes, I fully expect GM to have a workaround already in place for the hiring and temp clauses.
