Oct. 16 (UPI) -- After five weeks of a sustained labor walkout involving nearly 50,000 workers, the United Automobile Workers union said Wednesday it's reached a tentative agreement with General Motors that it considers "strong and fair."
UAW said in a statement the deal includes "major gains" for more than 48,000 workers who have been away from their jobs since Sept. 16. The union said its top negotiators recommended that its council accept the proposed agreement.
