*Date:* Oct 17, 2019

*Summary:* United Automobile Workers leaders voted Thursday on a tentative agreement to end a month long walkout by 50,000 workers at General Motors over wages, health insurance premiums and the use of temporary and “tiered” contracts. The accord includes raises and a large ratification bonus and gives temps a path to permanent status — but it also locks in the closing of a beloved factory in Lordstown, Ohio https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/05/01/magazine/lordstown-general-motors-plant.html?module=inline, and two others. Rank-and-file members across the country will now vote on whether to accept the deal and return to work.
