After a nation-wide strike for two days, the United Auto Workers has announced a major agreement with General Motors. The key component part of the negotiated contract includes a health-care trust fund. Both the union and General Motors have been in contract negotiation for ten weeks, and the United Auto Workers mounted a strike on September 14, when the old contract expired. Analysts believe other major auto makers would follow suit and negotiate in the areas of healthcare and other worker benefits with union leaders.
