General Motors and the United Auto Workers are trying to resolve two key issues as the union's strike closes out a third week
General Motors Co. and the striking United Auto Workers union are dueling over two main issues: how fast to move newer hires up to the top wage and how soon temporary workers should qualify for full employment.
As the union’s walkout at GM closes out a third week, the UAW is pushing to shorten the eight-year time period it takes for a new worker at GM to reach full pay of about $30 an hour, according to people close to the talks. The auto maker has resisted the demand because it could add to its labor costs, they said.
