Detroit, October 28 (RHC)-- After a 40-day strike, a new four-year deal between the United Auto Workers and General Motors has been approved. The contract was supported by 57% of the labor union.
The agreement includes an $11,000 bonus per member, annual raises and more affordable healthcare. General Motors still plans to close three plants in the United States.
About 48,000 United Auto workers walked off the job over one month ago, making it the longest national strike at GM by the United Auto Workers in nearly 50 years.
