...GM's initial offer...called for members to pay 15% of their health care costs. They currently pay about 3%...The UAW...walked it back to 3%...GM said it pays about $900 million a year for U.S. hourly employees' health care...

...The UAW wants GM to create a process for temporary workers to become permanent employees. Currently, some temps remain at that status for years and earn less...and get fewer benefits than permanent workers and get no paid time off...

...UAW members want a bigger wage boost than GM initially offered, which was a 2% raise in two years of the four-year deal and a 2% lump sum payment in the other years. In 2015, GM gave workers a 3% wage boost in two years and a 4% lump sum the other two years...

...The UAW is pushing for GM to build more product in the United States and keep assembly plants at Detroit-Hamtramck and Lordstown, Ohio, operational...

...GM...said it would invest $7 billion in U.S. facilities and create or retain 5,400 jobs. About half of those would be new jobs...but some would be through joint ventures and pay less than typical assembly jobs...
