BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- A former Mayor is now also a former General Motors employee.

As of today, UAW President and General Motors employee, Eldon Renaud, was let go from General Motors. Renaud had been the plant's UAW President since 1982, and served as a Bowling Green Mayor from 1996 through 2000.

We tried to reach out to Renaud throughout the day, but he declined our request for comment.

One Corvette plant worker and UAW member is very upset Renaud was let go and says all sides should be treated the same way.

Big problems in Bowling Green. Labor problems equals quality issues, so this may explain a lot about the C7. I can't remember the last time I heard of a union local president being fired without a work stoppage or other union action to blame it on. Break out the popcorn, this is going to be good.
