FINDING INFORMATION ON
GENERAL MOTORS
There are
several good sources of information on the internet on a daily basis
of what is happening with General Motors. As a GM Retiree you may
want to take advantage of these to stay informed about General
Motors and how it might affect you.
www.gmlsrc.org
This is our GM Lansing Salaried Retirees Club web site. In addition
to club activities we post links and other information on GM that are
of special interest to GM Salaried Retirees.
www.gm.com/corporate/employees/retirees/
This is the GM retiree’s web site. There is also a link to enroll in
the GM Retirees newsletter through email. The GMLSRC web site also
has a link for signing up for this newsletter.
www.overthehillcarpeople.com This is a
web site that has been involved in communicating information of
interest to auto retirees and GM in specific. They were very active
in providing information on health plans when GM dropped those for
salaried retirees. Recently they have provided leadership in meeting
with President Obama’s Auto Task Force on protecting salaried retirees
benefits. We post links to specific information on this web site that
is available to the public. In addition we encourage individuals to
join the membership of this web site for a one-time fee of $25 to
strengthen their position of representing GM Retirees. There is much
more additional information available to members. GMLSRC paid the
membership for me to monitor the site, recommend posted updates on our
web site, and report to the board monthly.
www.nrln.org
This is the National Retiree Legislative Network. They are a national
organization lobbying to protect retiree benefits and pensions. They
are working to protect all retiree’s interests and are not specific to
GM. GMLSRC paid the membership for John Fox to report out to the
board monthly about NRLN activities.
www.gmret.org
The General Motors Retirees Association is a newly formed offshoot of
the NRLN set up to lobby for the specific interest of GM retirees.
The GMLSRC board has taken a neutral stance, wait-and-see, position on
the organization for a number of reasons including membership cost.
Individuals are encouraged to check out the group and make their own
decisions about becoming members.
www.detnews.com
and
www.Freep.com
These are the two Detroit newspaper web sites that have daily updates
of news affecting the auto industry.
www.usatoday.com
This is the web site of this national newspaper that often has auto
industry news.
Although the
information at these web sites may not be very positive in these
trying times they will allow you to be informed.
