Members of the United Auto Workers union picket outside of a Ford assembly plant in Chicago on Oct. 24, 2023.The United Auto Workers union said its tentative contract deal with General Motors includes plans for investments around electric vehicles and will raise wages for thousands of U.S. hourly workers at units with lower wage tiers than at vehicle assembly operations.
The main economic provisions of the agreement follow the pattern set at Ford and Chrysler parent Stellantis, providing 25 per cent base wage increases for full-time workers, which could total as much as 33 per cent including newly negotiated cost-of-living allowances.
