UAW and GM Open Wage Talks Push Three Year Plan
UAW and GM discussed a three year contract with wage boosts in years two and three. The proposal includes higher skilled wage increases, 18 cents moved from cost of living to base wages, and fringe benefit improvements. Company terms call for annual COLA adjustments and a cap on COLA, with GM executives calling the offer the largest wage increase ever presented to the union. If enacted, a typical GM worker could gain about 1700 over three years, potentially over 2000 with maximum COLA. Industry-wide costs could exceed 1.1 billion. The offer also includes increased pensions, life and disability coverage, and higher guaranteed income for short weeks, plus 80 percent supplemental unemployment benefits for short-week workers.
