Valley UAW locals to vote on proposed pact Thursday

LORDSTOWN

Pay increases across the workforce, traditional health care benefits for lower-tier workers and a strengthened moratorium on outsourcing are just some highlights of the United Auto Workers’ four-year tentative agreement with General Motors.

More than 52,000 GM workers across 63 U.S. facilities will review the contract with union leadership before casting a vote.

The 1,400 members of UAW Local 1714, who work at the fabrication plant at GM Lordstown, and 2,800 to 3,000 members of UAW Local 1112, who work at the assembly plant in Lordstown, will vote on the agreement Nov. 5. Voting will last 24 hours.
