GM and UAW Reach Tentative Deal, Ending Autoworker Strike
General Motors has reached a tentative deal with the United Auto Workers, becoming the last car company to do so and ending the nearly seven-week-long strike. The strike has had a significant impact on the auto industry, costing the Big Three automakers hundreds of millions of dollars each week in lost production. Autoworkers were calling for a "just transition" to plug-in vehicles, ensuring that unionized workers would be involved in building the cars of the future. The terms of the deal were not immediately available.
