General Motors is struggling so much to find people to hire in its factories that the American group could give up testing its employees who smoke cannabis.
In a country where the question of cannabis divides (some states have legalized it, not others), General Motors has decided not to take half measures by testing, when hiring, the employees of its factories in order to hunting down smokers.
Problem: General Motors and its Chevrolet subsidiary cannot find enough temporary workers for the summer, in the group's most important factory, namely the one that produces the best-selling Chevrolet Silverado. Not being able to produce it at the normal rate would be very detrimental to Chevrolet and General Motors, while the competition is launching an electric pick-up and making people talk about it.
To widen the field of research and improve the chances of recruitment, General Motors could thus ignore cannabis tests when hiring, thus potentially recruiting regular smokers. It should be noted that General Motors, with its hiring test initiative, takes the state of Michigan on the wrong foot, where the Silverado is assembled and where... cannabis for recreational use is authorized.
