UAW says deal with GM creates or keeps 6400 jobs
In exchange for an agreement to create 5,100 union jobs in the U.S., General Motors will hire thousands of less expensive employees and try to replace some longtime workers.
The offer is part of a tentative new contract between the automaker and United Auto Workers that union leaders recommended to their membership on Tuesday. Now, nearly 50,000 workers at GM must vote to accept or reject the four-year contract.
The contract also includes a $5,000 signing bonus and profit-sharing checks if GM earns a minimum of $1.25 billion in North America annually. Those payments, and others, will replace annual raises for most workers.
UAW President Bob King hailed the deal as a sign the union and industry can cooperate to save American jobs. And at least one local union leader predicted workers would accept the contract, the first since GM and Chrysler made it through bankruptcy in 2009 after receiving government bailouts.
"The auto industry is back. General Motors and the UAW are working together to create jobs in America," King said at union leader meeting Tuesday in Detroit.
