GM workers ratify local contract to end that strike

16.05.2008 20:03 Shopping - Source: toledoblade.com

LANSING — A striking United Auto Workers local at a key General Motors Corp. factory ratified a new contract with the company and will resume production on Monday.

UAW Local 602 said on its Web site Friday that its members voted 73.5 percent in favor of the new deal. It will end a strike that began April 17 at the Delta Township plant near Lansing that makes the Buick Enclave, Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia.

About 3,300 workers work at the factory making the popular vehicles.

GM and the UAW reached a national contract agreement last fall, but local unions negotiate work rules and other issues. A UAW local at a plant in Kansas City, Kan., remains on strike. That strike began May 5.
