The United Auto Workers union and GM are reportedly far apart on issues such as wages, healthcare, temp employees, job security and profit-sharing.
The United Auto Workers union announced that its roughly 49,000 members at General Motors plants in the U.S. would go on strike Sunday night because contract negotiations with the automaker had broken down.
“We stood up for General Motors when they needed us most. Now we are standing together in unity and solidarity for our members,” union Vice President Terry Dittes said in a statement. On Saturday, UAW’s Dittes said in a letter to GM members that, after months of bargaining, the union and GM were far apart on issues such as wages, healthcare, temporary employees, job security and profit-sharing. The letter to members and another one to GM were aimed at turning up the pressure on GM negotiators.
The union picked GM, which is more profitable than Ford and Fiat Chrysler, as the target company, meaning it’s the focus of bargaining and would be the first company to face a walkout. Picket-line schedules already have been posted near the entrance to one local UAW office in Detroit.
