Legal Question
Compensation
Question: I own a custom automotive upholstery shop, I also
work for new car dealer ships in my area. A year ago the
Pontiac Grand Am's where having a problem with the vinyl
lifting off the door panels. I cam up with a method on how
to repair the vinyl to keep the dealer ship from spending
300.00 dollars per door panel for the Grand Am's. GM Pontiac
Div. Rep. for the dealer ship asked the Service Manager if he
would ask me to write down how I perform the repair on the
panels, so that GM could incorporate my method into there
production line to save them the problem with the door panels
so they could save money and correct the problem, further
stating that I would be named as the invertor of the repair
and compensated for my help by GM, this never happened as they
said. To the point can I make GM compensate me with a notarize
singed statement from the Service Manager on this mater, being
that General Motors approached me on this matter and then dropped
there end of the deal. GM saved I would say, depending if it were one
panel or four panels complete mark up from replacing them at
the cost of 300.00 per panel. Iv been told I can pursue this
matter, but I would like a lawyers point of vew.
