Auto Workers' Strike Against GM Ends After 40 Days

UAW members approved a four-year labor contract with GM, ending a 40-day strike involving over 45,000 union members. The strike reportedly cost GM over $2 billion. The new contract includes annual raises, lump sum payments, and a signing bonus, but allows GM to close three US factories. UAW's vice president praised the members' efforts to address wage and worker classification issues. Additionally, a new contract with Aramark was ratified, ending a strike by over 800 employees. The UAW plans to negotiate with Ford next.
