    GM and UAW Reach A Tentative Deal

      Down to the wire, GM and the UAW reach a tentative agreement


    Minutes before an imposed deadline that could have led union workers to walk out and possibly lead to strike, General Motors and the UAW reached a tentative agreement on a new four-year labor contract.

     

    Now specific details of the contract are still under wraps as the UAW's leadership will need to approve the deal before sending out to members for ratification.

     

    In a statement released by the UAW, the bargaining committee “secured significant gains and job security protections” in its negotiations with GM.

     

    “We believe that this agreement will present stable long-term significant wage gains and job security commitments to UAW members now and in the future. We look forward to presenting the details of these gains to local union leaders and the membership,” said UAW President Dennis Williams.

     

    "The new UAW-GM national agreement is good for employees and the business. Working with our UAW partners, we developed constructive solutions that benefit employees and provide flexibility for the company to respond to the needs of the marketplace,” said Cathy Clegg, GM North America Manufacturing and Labor Relations vice president.

    UAW-GM BARGAINING COMMITTEE VOTES ON PROPOSED TENTATIVE AGREEMENT

    • UAW-GM Bargaining Committee Votes on Proposed Tentative Agreement
    • UAW National GM Council Leaders to Convene for Vote on Wednesday
    • Terms to be announced following Wednesday vote


    Detroit, Mich. – The UAW-GM Bargaining committee announced at 11:43 p.m.Sunday that they have secured significant gains and job security protections in a proposed Tentative Agreement with General Motors.

     

    The bargaining committee unanimously voted to send the proposed Tentative Agreement to local union leaders who make up the union’s UAW National GM Council. The Council will meet in Detroit on Wednesday to discuss and vote on the agreement.

     

    “We believe that this agreement will present stable long-term significant wage gains and job security commitments to UAW members now and in the future,” said UAW President Dennis Williams. “We look forward to presenting the details of these gains to local union leaders and the membership.”

     

    UAW Vice President Cindy Estrada called the agreement transformative as it gives our members a clear path. “The significant gains in this agreement are structured in a way that will provide certainty to our members and create a clear path for all GM employees now and in the future. The agreement not only rewards UAW-GM members for their accomplishments, but it protects them with significant job security commitments.”

     

    Until the UAW National GM Council votes to approve the deal, it is classified as a Proposed Tentative Agreement. The contract language becomes a Tentative Agreement once the Council votes and they have requested details to be held until they review and vote on the proposal. Following Council approval, the UAW will release details of the Tentative Agreement to its membership and the ratification process will begin. A vote of the UAW-GM membership will decide whether or not the deal is finalized.

     

    The union plans to make the details of the agreement available immediately after the UAW National GM Council votes on the tentative agreement Wednesday and will have no comment until that time.

     

    GENERAL MOTORS STATEMENT REGARDING A TENTATIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN GM AND THE UAW

     

    DETROIT – General Motors and the United Auto Workers reached a tentative agreement at approximately 11:43 p.m. EDT on October 25, 2015.

     

    "The new UAW-GM national agreement is good for employees and the business,” said Cathy Clegg, GM North America Manufacturing and Labor Relations vice president. “Working with our UAW partners, we developed constructive solutions that benefit employees and provide flexibility for the company to respond to the needs of the marketplace.”

     

    Terms of the four-year agreement are not being shared publicly to allow the International UAW to inform their membership about the agreement and conduct a ratification vote. If ratified, the agreement would cover about 52,600 GM employees in the United States who are represented by the UAW.

     

    GM won’t comment further until the contract is ratified.

    I think legacy costs such as fully-funded pension benefits are definitely going to be extinct someday, even for the UAW. 

     

    Contribution plans are the way forward. 

    As they should be, imo.

    • Would seem Texas is seeing a ton of them as they fight along with other southern states to ban the Kei trucks and vans from being imported due to their cheap price. Due to the import price being from $6,000 to $14,000 dollars, this is why they are becoming so popular here. Buying a Kei Truck: A Step-by-Step Guide for First-Time Owners - Auto Verve This truck is local to me and I see it driven daily by the owner. According to government records, 7,594 trucks alone were imported into the US last year. Yes that is small compared to the 750,000 plus F150 trucks Ford sold last year. Yay for Kei?

    • Yeah, that was kind of my point. Those aren't the people I'm worried about having to spend extra money on. It's the average Joe who needs a new water pump for his 2010 Camry and now the price is $X higher.  For the "ton" you see, the rest of the country sees nearly zero. Again, it's likely there is 1% of 1% of 1% of vehicles on the road that are imported like that from Japan.
    • WTH Hulk Hogan, who had a life full of high drama, just died at 71.  This was in Clearwater FL. He had had a lot of medical issues lately.  Carrying around that sort of bulk from the earlier years generally doesn't bode well later on unless you try to get leaner and eat healthy. Hulk Hogan's father was Italian. His birth name is very different. (Wiki is your friend.) This got me thinking, so I checked the ages. Kirstie Alley was also 71 when she died in Clearwater FL a few years ago.
    • Thanks. I do better with numbers. Does this mean that a considerable number of GB is sitting there in anticipation of a person updating their machine to 11? If so, when I put through the update, will all the programming for 10 go away so I end up with a net gain in storage?  (It sounds and seems like there is an overlap in terms of storage on my laptop.) 
    • I actually see a ton of Kei Trucks, Vans and Skylines driving around here on a daily basis but that also is probably due to being so much closer to the asian rim and having a very active asian auto culture here.
