GM Reaches Tentative Deal With UAW to End 6-Week Strike

The UAW and workers achieved significant gains in their negotiations, including a 25% wage increase and the reinstatement of COLA. Temporary workers will see improved wages and benefits, with faster transitions to full-time status. The wider US auto industry faces challenges, particularly in competing with non-unionized companies like Tesla, which have lower labor costs and greater flexibility. Despite these challenges, the resolution of the strike brings labor peace and opportunities to find efficiencies elsewhere.
