DETROIT, United States (AFP) - Some 73,000 workers at General Motors plants across the United States went on strike Monday after contract talks broke down amid disputes on health care costs and job security.
GM:lle tilanne on ollut sietämätön jo jonkun aikaa, USA:ssa ei ole samanlaista valtiollista eläke ja sairausvakuutusta kuten esim. Japanissa mikä aiheuttaa karmeita ongelmia autojen myyntihinnoissa suhteessa moniin kilpailijoihin.

Re: GM workers strike in US as contract talks fail
Jonkinsortin "ehdonalainen" sopimus on nyt lyöty lukkoon:
The tentative agreement between the UAW and General Motors Corp., a person briefed on the deal said, is expected to include:
• A retiree health-care trust, known as a voluntary employee beneficiary trust, or VEBA. While neither party would officially comment on the amount GM will pay into the VEBA, UAW President Ron Gettelfinger said financial analysis of the plan indicates it should be solvent for 80 years. GM has pushed for the trust to relieve itself of the responsibility for more than $50 billion in retiree health care cost liability. People familiar with GM’s position have said they believe the automaker will pay less than $35 billion into the trust.

• A two-tier wage and benefits scale under which new hires will make a lower hourly wage and receive a different package of benefits than current workers.
• A second tier of compensation for jobs that GM and the UAW have agreed are “non-core” production jobs. This is expected to include many positions in which workers do not have their hands on a vehicle in the assembly process.
• To relieve the pain of the wage reductions for the workers currently assigned to jobs defined as “non-core” in the tentative deal, the automaker is expected to offer a targeted special attrition program.
• No wage increases.
• A $3,000 signing bonus.
• A lump-sum bonus in the last three years of the four-year contract.
• The possibility of the automaker maintaining the same level of its U.S. manufacturing workforce.

Mikäli lakko olisi jatkunut, se olisi pysäyttänyt myös Euroopan tuotannon koska osia tulee myös USA:sta.
