Big Three Make Contract Offer
Detroit reports the Big Three carmakers General Motors Ford and Chrysler offered UAW workers a three year contract with pay raises of 33 to 51 cents per hour plus extra pay for skilled work better layoff protection fatter pensions and other gains.

The proposal leaves out CAW demands for Canadian workers who now average 43 cents an hour.
