UAW, General Motors Reach Deal on Strike

HeadlineSep 26, 2007

The United Auto Workers have reached a tentative deal with General Motors that would end the first national strike against an automaker in three decades. Seventy-three thousand workers walked off the job on Monday. The United Auto Workers said it called the strike after GM refused to accept the union’s demand to protect workers’ jobs and benefits. Under the agreement, the union would run a healthcare program for retirees that General Motors would fund. No other details were released.
