NUMMI Signs NEW Contract with UAW


I wasn't dead - just resting - pining for the Fjords. Here's the most directly applicable news : The UAW local representing the NUMMI plant in California that builds GM and Toyota vehicles approved a new contract. Significantly, the contract brings NUMMI up to the GM 2003 contract, with no significant healthcare givebacks.

According to thecarconnection.com:


The highlights include a $3000 upfront settlement bonus. In a major victory for the union, the $1.61 cost-of-living allowance will be folded into base wage rates, bringing the base hourly rate for production workers to $27.97. Employees in the skilled trades workers will collect $32.34 per hour, under the terms of the new agreement.
