Gentlemen, By now you have probably heard that both the Macungie show (Das Awkscht Fescht) and the Fall Hershey Meet have been cancelled for this year. The Macungie show, hosted by the Ontelaunee Region of AACA, was going to be really special for us this year because Cadillac & LaSalle were to be the featured marques. The AACA Museum stepped up to the plate to sponsor the event. Mike Stinson of the Valley Forge Region has led the effort among CLC Regions to maximize the turnout of Cadil- lacs and LaSalles, and to arrange opportunities for club members to get together during the event. Over the last couple months, we became aware that some members whom we could usually rely on to bring outstanding Cadillacs to the event would be unable to attend this year because of concerns about the coronavirus. These concerns affected some of the cars we had hoped to feature inside the tent, as well as other choice cars. It seemed likely that turnout would be less than we hoped. For these reasons, it’s probably for the best that the Ontelaunee Region determined that the event would not be held this year.

INTRODUCTION CAR SUV/ TRUCK VAN SPECIALTY RESOURCES CROSSOVER VEHICLES GENERAL MOTORS FLEET AIMING FOR A BETTER TOMORROW In my 18 years with General Motors, I’ve never been more proud of my company. As we started a new decade, I was proud of our vision and the leadership role we had taken in defining the next age of transportation. Now, General Motors is leading in a whole new way. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we took immediate action in the United States to produce ventilators for medical facilities caring for critically ill coronavirus patients. In Canada, we WE’RE LEADING THE INDUSTRY INTO dedicated a portion of our Oshawa plant to produce critically needed face masks for the frontline UNCHARTED WATERS — AND WE’RE DOING healthcare professionals and other Canadians. SO BECAUSE IT’S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. As we work together to rebuild and recover where possible from the aftereffects of the pandemic, General Motors will continue to lead and provide assistance wherever possible. We’ll — Dave Watson, General Motors Canada, Director – Fleet Sales also continue to aim toward our vision, which is crystal clear — a world with zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion. Sure, it’s aspirational but it’s what drives everyone at General Motors. We have the energy, OUR passion and confidence to not only transform our company, but to help create a world that’s better for everyone. VISION I don’t want my son to look at me someday and ask, “Why didn’t your company do something At General Motors, we envision a world of zero crashes, about the pollution in the air, the congestion in our cities or the vehicle crashes that take so many zero emissions and zero congestion lives?” Our vision is to help with these.

  • Impact of UAW Strike on GM
    Alert Impact of UAW Strike on GM September 17, 2019 UAW Strike – Potential Impact to GM • On September 15, 2019, the UAW declared a national strike on General Motors, leading to roughly 46,000 hourly workers to walk off the line at 11:59 p.m. This is the first national strike since 2007. The two sides are at odds over wages, benefits, investments, job security and temporary workers. • The strike impacts over 30 manufacturing plants in the US, including 12 vehicle assembly plants and eight engine and transmission plants. • LMC Automotive estimates that a strike affecting only US assembly plants would cost GM 7,700 units of lost production per day, while this would approach over 43,500 units if it were to last a week. • Since powertrain and parts plants in the US are also affected by the strike, there is potential that vehicle production in Canada and Mexico could also be impacted. LMC estimates that a strike affecting all vehicle assembly plants in the region could cost GM up to 12,400 units a day and 68,500 units per week.
