General Motors is adding 400 workers, some of whom will transfer from plants that are at risk of shutting down, to its Chevrolet Corvette factory in Kentucky that’s preparing to produce the next-generation sports car.
GM CEO Mary Barra with a camouflaged next-generation Chevrolet Corvette in New York. The eighth generation of the sports car, to be unveiled in July, will have its engine tucked between the passenger compartment and the rear wheels.
The largest U.S. automaker will reveal the Corvette on July 18, according to a statement Thursday. GM will be making the jobs available to existing employees, including those from plants that the company has said won’t be allocated new product, according to Pat Morrissey, a spokesman.GM has been taking political heat from the likes of President Trump and Democratic candidates challenging him, including former Vice President Joe Biden, over plans to stop production at four U.S.
UAW Vice President Terry Dittes, who has publicly criticized GM for not adding new products to Lordstown and three other plants, commended the automaker for adding work at the Corvette plant.
