You're listening to the Westerly Sun's podcast, where we talk about the best local events, new job postings, obituaries, and more. First, a bit of Rhode Island trivia. Today's trivia is brought to you by Perennial. Perennial's new plant-based drink “Daily Gut & Brain” is a blend of easily digestible nutrients crafted for gut and brain health. A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now for some trivia. Did you know that Rhode Island politician and educator, David Carlin was born in Pawtucket? He was a Democratic majority leader of the Rhode Island Senate from 1981 to 1993. He ran for congress and lost in 1992. Carlin is the author of 4 books and has written for different Catholic periodicals in addition to being a professor of sociology and philosophy at the Community College of Rhode Island. Now for our feature story: Business is booming for area auto dealerships, a far cry from a year ago when many showrooms were still closed as a result of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The turnaround hasn't been without its challenges, however — local dealerships are finding themselves in the unique position of working to keep inventory in stock during a nationwide shortage of vehicles. Staff at both Valenti Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and Brustolon Buick GMC Truck in Mystic said while they have been able to replenish stock, often daily, they have not been completely void of the impact of the national shortage. Said Brustolon owner, “Even with the nationwide shortage, this is a wonderful time to purchase a vehicle,” Casey said Wednesday. “We are staying positive and are happy to be here to help.” For dealerships like Brustolon, which is family owned and operated, the shutdown at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic presented a huge challenge. Travel was greatly restricted and people were ordered to stay home, showrooms were closed to the public and even when they reopened had to do so often by appointment only, and dealers across the country found themselves with plenty of cars and trucks. As the impact of the virus spread, automotive factories shut down for several months. The nationwide move to working at home led to far fewer cars on the road and high demand for laptops and monitors that caused a shift in semiconductor base production from automotive microchips to technologies for computer electronics. One year later, the entire landscape has changed — even if the root cause still stems from the initial pandemic shutdown that took place 15 months ago. The combination of economic stimulus payments, vaccination efforts and loosening of restrictions aided in a faster-than-expected rebound for the industry, and automobile makers were unable to ramp up production, in part due to the microchip shortage that has persisted since production slowed and demand shifted more than a year ago. Analysts foresee no return to normal before next year. “It's like toilet paper was a year ago,” said Michelle Krebs, executive analyst for Cox Automotive, in an interview with the Associated Press. “Everyone is rushing to buy a car.” For more about the coronavirus pandemic and the latest on all things in and around Westerly, head over to westerlysun.com.

Understanding three big General Motors moves w/ Michelle Krebs

General Motors has made some news as of late with three big moves. So to understand it, we turn to expert and AutoTrader analyst Michelle Krebs. She's one of the voices I trust to figure out what's happening in the auto industry. First, we go through that GM has withdrawn their support for a Trump suit against California around emissions. Then, GM's rollout of an all-electric portfolio for new vehicles and just how big of a deal it is. Finally, the scrapped deal with Nikola. Why that happened and what's next. For more, you can follow Michelle on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/MichKrebs Plus three quick things you should know today: There's a propeller and nautical/aeronautical company moving to Detroit called Sharrow Marine. The city has a long history of boats and working with them, and the head of it is from the area. A pilot program has been extended with new funding to test sewage from seven local cities to track COVID-19. And a Michigan State Senate hearing has turned up nothing new with the whacky claims of voter fraud. I followed the hearing too, but really the best summary was from Gongwer's Nick Smith: "We're at the 2 1/2 hour mark and not a single person who has testified has said anything beyond items that have to date been largely disproven in either court or through reporting." That held up throughout the rest of the thing. Follow him here: https://twitter.com/NSmithReports/status/1333829633813467136 Thanks for listening!

On today’s episode, we wrap up 2019 auto sales with Michelle Krebs, executive analyst at Autotrader. The industry finished the year above 17 million cars and trucks for the fifth straight year, the first time it’s ever gone that long above that number. We go over results at each of the Detroit automakers, including surprising troubles for some of Ford’s popular SUVs and how Ram trucks have leapfrogged the Chevy Silverado in popularity. Then, we talk recycling. The city of Detroit just got grants from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy and the Recycling Partnership, a national nonprofit, to expand curbside recycling and recycling education. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer wants to boost Michigan’s abysmally low 15% recycling rate. We discuss. Also we check in with sports correspondent Fletcher Sharpe to discuss a few big storylines with the ailing Pistons, including what Blake Griffin’s season-ending injury means and how likely it is that Detroit actually trades Andre Drummond.

Nearly 50,000 UAW workers have gone on strike at General Motors, the first time the union has gone on strike in 12 years, after the last four-year agreement expired without an agreement over a new one. The strike also comes at a time that federal authorities are widening their investigation into embezzlement by top union leadership past and present, with nine people so far convicted of skimming member dues and money from automakers meant to support job-training programs. On today’s show, we speak with auto analyst Michelle Krebs of Autotrader.com all about the strike, how the corruption scandal is affecting negotiations and how a protracted labor stoppage could affect workers, GM and the broader economy. Also on this episode, we run through Ford’s new master plan for its Research & Engineering Center in Dearborn.

GM's Monday Massacre And The Closing Of Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly

Play Episode Listen Later Nov 26, 2018 27:58

General Motors dropped a bomb on Monday, saying it will likely close three assembly plants including Detroit-Hamtramck in a pre-emptive move to cut costs and headcount ahead of an expected downturn. The moves mean the elimination of as many as 14,000 jobs — including 1,500 at Detroit-Hamtramck — and the elimination of slow-selling sedans like the Chevrolet Volt and Impala and the Buick LaCrosse. A transmission plant in Warren could also close. It's a particularly dubious cap to the saga of the Poletown plant, which rose during the 1980s after the two cities it straddles worked with GM to condemn and raze a working-class neighborhood of the same name. On today's episode, we speak with Hamtramck Mayor Karen Majewski, who tells us the closure leaves a city defined by the auto industry without any actual auto manufacturing. It also leaves Detroit without an open auto-assembly plant. In fact, here's Mayor Mike Duggan statement about it: "This morning I spoke to Mary Barra and she advised me for the first time of the situation at the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant. The news is troubling. I have spoken to UAW President Gary Jones and the city's economic development team. They are working together to come up with a solution that works for GM and the employees. We all know there is strong demand for manufacturing space in Detroit and we are willing to work with GM to fill all the available manufacturing space at Poletown with either GM-related entities or other companies." You can also read the UAW's statement here. We also speak with auto analyst Michelle Krebs of Autotrader to learn about the business rationale behind the move. And finally, tech guru Nuri Gocay joins us to shed some light on where General Motors is actually adding jobs (hint: It ain't in Detroit).
