UAW Union Workers Reject Record GM Deal, Voting Continues

United Auto Workers (UAW) members at General Motors (GM) are on the verge of rejecting a tentative union deal that ended a six-week labor strike against the automaker. Several major GM plants have already voted against the pact, representing 40% of GM's union employees. The UAW and GM have not commented on the voting results. If the deal is voted down, the UAW will need to decide whether to reinitiate strikes, reopen negotiations, or both. The deal, which included wage increases and other benefits, has faced criticism from UAW members for not meeting their expectations. A rejection at GM would be a setback for UAW President Shawn Fain.
