By Stephen Nakrosis

General Motors Co. (GM) on Wednesday said more than 1,350 hourly employees across sites in the U.S. will see their status change to full-time employees in the first quarter of this year.

"We are excited to welcome these employees as regular, full-time team members," said Gerald Johnson, the company's EVP of global manufacturing. "Our employees are essential to meeting the needs of our customers, so providing these team members with an improved career-path forward has numerous benefits."

As full-time employees, the workers will be eligible for dental and vision coverage, company contributions into a 401(k) program, profit sharing and life insurance, the company said.

The workers are employed across 14 sites in eight states, GM said.
