Glenn Johnson on Lordstown
United Auto Workers locals 1112 and 1714 are merged. Local 1112 now represents all 3,000 workers at the General Motors Lordstown Complex where the Chevrolet Cruze, a compact car, is produced. The merger is a move to make the plant more cost effective. The hope is the merger plus attaining production benchmarks will lead to a new vehicle. “It’s up to us to earn that product,” said Robert Morales, president of Local 1714. “We are up to that task.”
