General Motors and Union Reach Tentative Deal

U.S. automaker General Motors and the United Automobile Workers (UAW) union have announced the end of a two-day auto workers' strike, and a tentative agreement on a new contract. The New York Times reports that "the key provision of the new contract is a health care trust that would get G.M.'s vast liability off its books, while workers and retirees would receive their current coverage until the trust is put in place."
