GM union reach tentative deal ends Wisconsin strike
A tentative agreement was reached Tuesday to end a week long strike at GM’s Janesville truck plant, primary output of the Tahoe Yukon and Suburban. The walkout, part of a broader set of labor actions to influence a national contract for 215,000 workers, followed Canadian and Indianapolis disputes. GM estimated daily profit losses at 5 to 6 million, as 4,800 Janesville workers prepare for a ratification vote.
