HOLLAND (WHTC-AM/FM) — United Auto Workers are voting this week on a tentative agreement with General Motors.
On Thursday, Oct. 17, 2019, members of the UAW GM National Council voted to accept the Tentative Agreement with General Motors. UAW workers will remain on the picket line. The strike it in its sixth week.
That agreement will be a template for contracts with Fiat-Chrysler and Ford.
On Monday, Oct. 21, 2019, the UAW announced its members at General Dynamics Corporation had reached tentative agreement.
“The bargaining committees at General Dynamics have worked hard to reach a fair agreement for our members that protects job security, wages and benefits,” said UAW Secretary-Treasurer Ray Curry, director of the UAW General Dynamics Department, in a statement tweeted by the union.
General Dynamics is the fifth largest defense contractor in the United States and has UAW members at manufacturing plants in Lima, OH; Scranton, PA; and Sterling Heights.
Details of the contract are being withheld pending UAW officials briefing members, and, like the GM agreement, must be ratified by workers before the contract is made official.
