United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain announced today a new contract between autoworkers and GM and suspended the stand-up strike in effect for the three largest U.S. automakers, reports the Tennessean. UAW reached a tentative agreement with Ford on Wednesday and another with Stellantis on Saturday. If ratified, Fain said GM salaried workers will be given a 25% general wage increase and the return of cost of living adjustments. Ford, G.M. and Stellantis have announced car prices would increase to maintain their profits. The GM assembly plant in Spring Hill is GM's largest in North America with nearly 4,000. According to the Tennessee Economic and Community Development department, the state is the number one employer in the southeast.
