End of historic GM UAW strike in Detroit
Detroit February 11 14 The prolonged strike in General Motors plants ends with a peace agreement signed at 1136 a m. EST between General Motors and the United Automobile Workers union after 44 days. A six cent wage raise for all GM workers is announced starting February 15, totaling an estimated 25 million dollars annually. The agreement recognizes the union as the bargaining agent and outlines timelines for bargaining beginning February 16. Union members evacuate strike plants, production resumes rapidly, and no discrimination against strikers is to occur. The pact also restricts future bargaining with other unions for six months and requires governor consulting on such moves. Officials praise the settlement as a milestone toward rational labor relations in the auto industry.
