General Motors Strike Vote Planned by UAW
The United Auto Workers plans a strike vote at GM for nearly 400,000 members after GM demanded changes to the cost of living protection in the labor contract. Contracts for 750,000 workers at GM Ford and Chrysler expire Sept. 6, with the union warning the move could hit unless a deal preserves purchasing power. The vote, set for the week of Aug. 20, aims to back the union position that cost of living safeguards must be modernized, not removed. Local results expected Aug. 25. Ford and Chrysler departments have not yet scheduled votes.
