The United Auto Workers (UAW) union and General Dynamics have reached a tentative agreement over a new labor contract covering 1,100 workers at some of the U.S. defense contractor’s facilities, staving off a potential strike.
The four-year deal, which must be ratified by the workers, provides a 14 percent wage hike, protection against inflation, reduces the time it takes to get to top pay and “beats back the company’s proposed healthcare concessions”, the UAW said.
