UAW 1714 OKs new labor pact with GM

LORDSTOWN — Union members at the fabricating plant at the General Motors’ Lordstown complex ratified a new local labor contract. Voting ended today.

United Auto Workers Local 1714 said that 56 percent of workers approved the deal. Skilled trades workers backed the contract with 65 percent approval, while just 49.9 percent of production workers supported it.

Local 1112 at the assembly plant still is negotiating its local contract, which covers plant-specific work rules.
