Setback For GM As Flint Plant Workers Vote Against New UAW Deal: Report
Portfolio Pulse from Shivani Kumaresan
General Motors Company (GM) faces a setback as workers at its Flint assembly plant, represented by the UAW, voted against a proposed contract. The narrow vote against the deal adds complexity to GM's ongoing negotiations with the union. The Flint plant is known for producing the Silverado heavy-duty pickup truck. This comes amidst broader UAW efforts to secure contracts for workers at Stellantis N.V. (STLA), GM, and Ford Motor Co (F), following recent strikes. GM shares dropped 0.54% to $26.50.
