General Motors Co. and the United Auto Workers (UAW) have reached a tentative agreement, ending an unprecedented six-week campaign of coordinated strikes.
The strike resulted in record increases in pay to workers at all three Detroit factories.
Previously, Ford and Stellantis (the latter owned by Chrysler) reached agreements with the union.
The deals are seen as significant victories for auto workers after years of stagnant wages and painful concessions following the 2008 financial crisis.
“We truly believe our strike took every penny from General Motors,” UAW President Sean Fein said in a video message. “They underestimated us.” “They underestimated you.”
The union has officially called off the strike at all three Detroit factories.
Local UAW leaders will be in Detroit on Friday to review the agreement with General Motors, after which it will be presented to the entire union for ratification.
