WASHINGTON, (Reuters) – U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai stated Friday that the approval of a new General Motors (NYSE) contract by General Motors workers in a Mexican pickup truck factory “demonstrates the substantial benefits of collective bargaining.”
Reuters earlier reported that GM had agreed to a wage increase of 8.5% with a union independent at the Silao plant, in central Mexico. Tai stated that workers no longer need to accept contracts being negotiated behind them and can vote on any agreement once it has been negotiated under USMCA labor protections.
