Congratulations to the @UAW & @GM for reaching an agreement that ends the strike.
This historic agreement will provide a life-changing increase in pay, quality and affordable health care, and many other benefits that give workers a better quality of life.https://bit.ly/2PjojKA

For people like Jacinta, the temporary worker I talked about a couple of weeks back, this contract means a better way of life for her and her family. Today, a permanent GM hourly worker with 11 months experience makes $17/hour or $35,360 per year (before overtime).

That same worker who sticks with GM will make $32.32/hour or $67,226 per year (before overtime) at the end of that 4-year contract. This means the difference between scraping by and being able to buy a house and afford the occasional vacation.

I'm glad workers at the GM Lansing Grand River Assembly and GM Lake Orion Assembly plants in my district will be back to producing world-class vehicles for General Motors with the pay and benefits they deserve.
