GM Appeals to Workers for Accord as Deadlines Loom
GM issued a letter to about 230,000 hourly workers urging quick acceptance of the only wage proposal it plans to offer. President Harlow Curtice circulated the message directly to staff, bypassing UAW leaders who reject the offer to maintain the 2 percent wage formula. The company estimates union demands would raise pay by about 73 cents per hour, though the union has not provided its own figures. The appeal follows a prior May 3 letter and a 27 page booklet on GM’s industrial peace progress.
