"GM Ultium UAW Battery Workers Secure 25% Pay Increase in Ohio"
Workers at GM's Ultium plant in Ohio have negotiated a 25% pay increase, amounting to an additional $3-4 per hour. The agreement covers around 1,100 workers and is pending ratification by a union vote. The pay increase comes after the United Auto Workers (UAW) expressed concerns about low starting wages for Ultium jobs. UAW sees this as a first step and plans to continue pushing for better pay and working conditions. The Ultium plant is a joint venture between GM and LG, and the pay increase is seen as a move to improve worker satisfaction as the plant ramps up production for GM's mass-market Ultium-based EVs.
