General Motors’ tentative labor deal with the United Auto Workers union has clinched ratification, making its workers the first of the Detroit Three automakers to approve the agreement.
Attention now shifts to voting at Ford and Chrysler parent Stellantis, where current margins in favor of the deal suggest the agreement will be approved comfortably.
The vote locks in the UAW’s tentative agreement with GM after an unprecedented six-week campaign of coordinated strikes at all three automakers.
The union was able to clinch record pay hikes for auto workers after years of stagnant wages and painful concessions following the 2008 financial crisis.
The UAW’s GM vote tracking site shows approval of the contract leading by a 55% to 45% margin with nearly 36,000 workers having cast votes out of about 46,000 UAW-represented GM workers. All the facilities voting have reported results.
Officials at the UAW and GM did not immediately comment. (NY Post 11/16/23) UAW workers approve labor deal with General Motors (msn.com)
