The tentative contract includes pay increases, a cost-of-living adjustment for all employees and better retirement benefits.

Voting on a tentative contract agreement between General Motors and the United Auto Workers union that ended a six-week strike against the company appears too close to call after the latest tallies at several GM factories were announced Wednesday.

The United Auto Workers union will end its month-and-a-half-long strike at General Motors after reaching a tentative agreement with the company, according to a video announcing the deal posted to the unions social media pages.

Facing the loss of another $200 million this week to a lengthy strike, General Motors CEO Mary Barra wrapped up her weekend by going to the United Auto Workers' Detroit headquarters intent on getting a new contract.

The United Auto Workers union has widened its strike against General Motors, the lone holdout among the three Detroit automakers, after reaching a tentative contract agreement with Jeep maker Stellantis.

The United Auto Workers union appears to be edging closer to a tentative contract agreement with Ford that would be critical to ending the union's 6-week-old strikes against the three major Detroit automakers, two people with knowledge of the talks said Wednesday.

First it was Ford, then Stellantis, and now a General Motors factory has been added to the growing list of highly profitable plants where the United Auto Workers union is on strike.

The United Auto Workers union has once again escalated its strikes against big Detroit automakers, this time adding a factory that makes Ram pickup trucks for Stellantis.

United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain said Friday that while Detroit’s automakers have increased their wage and benefit offers, he believes the union can gain more if it holds out longer in contract talks.

Stellantis, parent company of Jeep and Chrysler, is temporarily laying off more workers across two plants in Kokomo. The layoffs come almost five weeks after the United Auto Workers union began its strike at a Stellantis assembly plant in Toledo, Ohio.
