64 yo female here born, raised and lived in Flint, Michigan. The birthplace of GM. Most every kid I graduated with aspired to work for GM (shop). The only place you could have a good paying job without a college education. We were raised by parents that worked in these shops and had given us a good middle class upbringing. Flint had Chevrolet, Buick, AC, Truck and Bus and Fisher Body Ternstadt. All gone now except for the truck plant and metal plant.
Good paying job? More like an incredible paying job with incredible benefits along with business destroying union work rules. Yeah, GM went bankrupt. Wonder why. Salaried employees were spoiled every bit as much. All led to bankruptcy. American taxpayers had to bail GM out. Wonder how much of that money went to foreign countries where GM makes car parts and import them to the US (buy American, my ass).
People don’t realize what kind of blood sweat and tears go into these vehicles great respect to all these HARD working people who give up so much to build them
Blood sweat and tears? People/ autoworkers don't know how good they have it today. People don;'t have to life a finger compared to autoworkers in the past. You should watch the videos of the original Ford Workers ie Rouge Plant workers. As you can see in this video, most of he workers are fat.
It's nice to see old memories. As a union contractor I have been fortunate enough to see the inside of several of these plants. It has brought back some very good memories. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I worked for General Motors Hydramatic div 1976 ~ 2006. I moved from Tennessee up to Michigan looking for a job in an automotive plant. I just happened to get hired in at Hydramatic. After I retired, I moved back to TN, I was really lucky to have had such a job. We just didn't have jobs that paid or had the benefits that I had. Within the first year I was making as much if not more than my dad in TN working 2 full time jobs.
I will always buy GM. My Duramax had over 700k miles when I traded it in. They are pretty good trucks. The Transmission is awesome. If I need to buy another one I would do it.
@@POMS100 no my dream car is a 71 camaro Z28 I have in my garage needs restoring.LT1 4 speed. But that truck is nice plus big enough to haul equipment and my dump trailor.and get all my grandkids in it too.
68 years old and have never owned any vehicle other than a GM. Every vehicle manufacturer has problems with their vehicles but I've been consistently happy with GM quality and reliability. I also feel like all the GM vehicles I've owned have been easy to maintain and work on. Watching videos like these I'm in awe of the infrastructure and robotics it takes to manufacture a vehicle and the investment GM makes to equip a plant. The costs must be staggering. And the maintenance workers it must take to maintain and keeps all the machinery working aside from the employees assembling the vehicles. And the logistics of all the parts that have to arrive where they need to at the right time and place. The engineering that goes into all of it is nothing short of amazing.
i could never ever in my life do this.the life cycle of these jobs is to short now i guess eveything is temporary now in the world.hats off to the people who do.
Definitely some truth to this. I work in a Big 3 factory. There are people with stopwatches and clipboards who’s job is to find ways to do things faster. If you can find a way to put part A with part B faster than expected, they will add part C
I'm still very happy with my 1988 Chevy celebrity 175,000 n my 05 Malibu Maxx with just turned 375,000. Gm knew what they were doing when they built theses car
The only GM vehicle I ever owned was a 1980's model Buick Skylark, a very elegant body shape with hardtop. We bought it secondhand and had some issues but dad and I had it fully painted and we sorted it out. Gave me good service for nearly a decade before I scraped it.
Just like the Rolls Royce factory in good old England, the worker assembling the engine got to have his signature stamped on the block. The cars were in reality posh barges with plenty of leather seating and wood paneling, but lacked innovation. I suppose the owner would be getting a sense of exclusivity in the knowledge that his engine was personally signed by someone who had some sort of wrenching experience. Then BMW came down the road and showed them how to build a car, and better engines.
Well I for one am proud of the men and women who build our cars and trucks. It takes all kinds of people to keep this world going. Why not try to build someone up instead of putting down what they do.
Thanks ,Enjoyed, Made in the USA. I have been to the Bowling Green ,Ky, Corvette Museum .Plant and dealership all right together on the highway and a test track across the freeway. For a Vett guy ,A holy event.

God I love watching these assembly plant videos and the old plants that were shut down…I’ve drove all gm my whole life,(52 here).even the $600/ 1993 lumina and a grand am ran killer…had iroc-z’s,formula 350’s,Transam’s then onto gm trucks as I hit my 30’s..gm builds the best looking trucks and suv”s and some cars as well (not much anymore ).I always wanted to get in one of these gigs at 18[1988] work 30 years and retire at 48 with a pension…us gen x definitely did not have the same opportunities as our parents and grandparents before us did…in the early 90’s you needed to know someone to get you in…I do well as I became a machinist and make close to what these “line”workers get…but ,oh marone, that damn pension would be awesome about right now. The writing on the wall was as early as 1975…. Old timers that got in in ‘55 were out in ‘85…

Looking at this video and other similar videos from other manufacturers from all over the world, it is 'interesting' to see that in contrast to any other plant from other parts of the world, people in GM's plant are working plain clothed and non-uniformed. FYI this is just my observation, without judgement.
I’m the team lead of 2nd Row 40% Backs and 40% Stanchions at Magna Seating in Ohio and Im in charge of production for the the Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia. The first plant name looks familiar, I think this might be where our product goes lol
The only GMC & Chevrolet trucks that make me smile are the truly good looking bread & butter trucks built from 1967 thru 1972 Made in the USA 73 thru 80 & 81 thru 87 horrible
In the 1970s I was in college but had a job one summer at a Ford assembly plant in New Jersey, building Ford Fairmonts and Mercury Zephyrs mostly. The plant is long gone. Compared to this plant it was, at best, partially automated with much of the machinery potentially very hazardous. I remember all female workers either had to wear their hair short or tied up in scarves, for safety purposes. Apparently this isn't done anymore at least not at GM...
My grandpa had a 1972 Chevy C10 pick up truck. It was a red color. Great working vehicle. He used it for his chicken store business and to get around for random trips. He kept it after he retired in 1985. After his passing in 1996, my mom took posession of it. It was starting to have problems at the 150,000 mile mark of its life. It was having engine trouble, battery problems, spark plug issues etc. My mom tried to fix it but to no avail. So she decided to get rid of it in 2009. Kind of sad because I liked that truck but I guess there comes a point where there is nothing else you can do. Oh well.
@@larrycumbo2023 Mercedes Benz tin is not much better as it is so hard it can't be pounded out after a wrinkle without tearing or cracking. Hardly even weldable. Not very malleable.

@@POMS100 ok . I was told 3-5 weeks from factory to delivery. Truck will be made in Silas Mexico and I live in Missouri. I have been trying to get a truck built since last March…
In my factory, there is a short music clip that plays over the intercom anytime there is a machine or line fault. Each line has its own clip, that way a repairman will hear that music clip and know exactly which line is down. The factory I work in plays Mary had a Little lamp, clips from Clint Eastwood westerns, nursery rhymes, things like that. After awhile you don’t notice iy, until the music for your line plays.
Faults and alerts on different lines. If all the alarms sounded the same it would be impossible to hear where it was coming from. Each line has a different song so it's easy to identify where the problem is coming from. Also different songs for breaks/lunch.
Sometimes I wonder if GM would bring back the classic/vintage vehicles with oem parts for that particular time period. Would there be a big market knowing you can work on basic engines again without all the high tech computers in today's vehicles
The hose/pipe assemblies are purchased and are made by the same manufacture that supply Lexus, BMW and many other carmakers. If this was a video of a Toyota plant you would probably be complimenting them on their high quality components!
When I watch car made in America compared to cars made in Japan big difference quality and attention and commitment. You don’t see that in American made cars they work like they don’t care and have shit in there pants
The people that work in automotive assembly plants are less than trained skilled labor, yet, because of unions, their salaries compete with professionals in the medical field or upper management positions. THAT is why vehicles cost as much as a small house.
@@hotpuppy1 ANYBODY can stand in an assembly line and put a weeble pin in a wobble hole, but not just everybody can remove an automatic transmission, completely disassemble it and repair or replace the damaged parts, put it back together and make it work better than it did when it was new. WANNA TRY???
That's the way used to be.. Unfortunately now the only way to be hired is to work as a temp for 2 years. $16 an hour After two years you get put on full-time and that's when your seniority starts. It takes 10 years after that reach top pay. Pensions has been done away with since 2010. Healthcare benefits is still good. But we're short-handed because nobody wants to come here and work as a temp for $16 an hour. There's department stores like Rural King, Lowe's and Menards that are paying more than that. GM jobs are not what it used to be.😕
@@markmadden1839 yeah I see on indeed 16.67 a hr!! No wonder no one wants to do it..these temp to start should be at least 20.67 to start…one question…after the 2 years is up and you get hired on..what’s that starting wage? What is it after the 10 years is put in?
Sad to see how it's so quiet... Nobody breakin balls, laughing, yelling across the floor, loud things dropping, cursing...Mostly the laughing...The assembly plants of the 60's and 70's had life to them...The Robots have more life in them...I drive a silverado so, I'm a Chevy guy but...I wish there were more heart in the process...

At least the title doesn't say how QUALITY cars are made, and for good reason. lol
They build the engine around the oil filter. Then any serviceable part will require an engine removal to fix.
What is the significance of the musical notes playing in the background?
Faults and alerts on different lines. If all the alarms sounded the same it would be impossible to hear where it was coming from. Each line has a different song so it's easy to identify where the problem is coming from. Also different songs for breaks/lunch.
Sometimes I wonder if GM would bring back the classic/vintage vehicles with oem parts for that particular time period. Would there be a big market knowing you can work on basic engines again without all the high tech computers in today's vehicles
Not in today's EPA and mandated safety equipment

Yes, mandated EPA and safety equipment I totally agree
This video is definitely over the 2021. The Corvette’s they show are the C7 model, production stopped in 2019.
9:19 Ahhh, the GM rubber hose with crimped metal connections. A leak guaranteed to happen. Absolutely horrible.
The same part can be found at autozone with 0 issues. lol
The hose/pipe assemblies are purchased and are made by the same manufacture that supply Lexus, BMW and many other carmakers. If this was a video of a Toyota plant you would probably be complimenting them on their high quality components!
My 2018 trans line leaked within a year
Where are they sourcing most of their parts?
Any Hydrogen Cars in the lineup
When I watch car made in America compared to cars made in Japan big difference quality and attention and commitment. You don’t see that in American made cars they work like they don’t care and have shit in there pants
i used to talk to memphis like this nightly ever since she stopped tlkn back to me we kinda fell out
Keep building them, I’ll drive my 83 Chevy c20, I hate the design and build quality of this new stuff
The people that work in automotive assembly plants are less than trained skilled labor, yet, because of unions, their salaries compete with professionals in the medical field or upper management positions.
THAT is why vehicles cost as much as a small house.
Let's see YOU do it then!
@@hotpuppy1 ANYBODY can stand in an assembly line and put a weeble pin in a wobble hole, but not just everybody can remove an automatic transmission, completely disassemble it and repair or replace the damaged parts, put it back together and make it work better than it did when it was new. WANNA TRY???
I,ll look the world over far and wide for a car made by a non union company!,!
Wish they would fix that bearing issue thats destroying their trucks.
This the Wal-Mart of vehicles.....
And the new logo looks like the one from Goodwill.
Hi you people are really doing good to globally I want to be part of this human creation my name is Allen okechukwu nwala
What's with the arrow on the thumbnail? Like "Hot girl at GM plant". 😂 lol
Wake up in the morning and move and eat and sleep. This is the basic routine of Homo sapiens.
And fuchk, don't forget this part.
Anyone else notice sounds like music tones during the assembly???
Wonder how many of those workers can afford what they build now compared to before
Thanks a lot for your comment... I also wonder that...
First off you have to know someone who works there or someone who use to work there to recommend you. Then you might get an application....
That's the way used to be..
Unfortunately now the only way to be hired is to work as a temp for 2 years. $16 an hour
After two years you get put on full-time and that's when your seniority starts. It takes 10 years after that reach top pay.
Pensions has been done away with since 2010.
Healthcare benefits is still good.
But we're short-handed because nobody wants to come here and work as a temp for $16 an hour. There's department stores like Rural King, Lowe's and Menards that are paying more than that.
GM jobs are not what it used to be.😕
@@markmadden1839 yeah I see on indeed 16.67 a hr!! No wonder no one wants to do it..these temp to start should be at least 20.67 to start…one question…after the 2 years is up and you get hired on..what’s that starting wage? What is it after the 10 years is put in?
Awaits CADlLLAC factories: past / current / future duration 150 minute
Heyy ! Has anybody seen the chips? Where are the chips? They were just here .. a couple years ago..
Sad to see how it's so quiet... Nobody breakin balls, laughing, yelling across the floor, loud things dropping, cursing...Mostly the laughing...The assembly plants of the 60's and 70's had life to them...The Robots have more life in them...I drive a silverado so, I'm a Chevy guy but...I wish there were more heart in the process...
It might be because they know they are being recorded. I’m sure they have fun.
