In the mid-’80s, GM and the United Automobile Workers (UAW) Union participated in an ergonomics pilot project with the University of Michigan, which led to the 1990 UAW-GM-Occupational Safety & Health Administration agreement on ergonomics. Today, the GM Global Manufacturing Engineering Ergonomics team consists of individuals around the globe who execute GM’s ergonomics process across several functional groups, as a single voice.
