Phóng khoáng kiểu...xe đua. Negotiators for the United Auto Workers and General Motors Corp. were on the verge of reaching a historic contract agreement that would shift the burden of retiree health care from the company to the union and give workers bonuses and lump-sum payments, a person briefed on the contract talks said early Wednesday. The agreement could end a nearly two-day strike by 73,000 workers at 80 GM facilities across the United States. It still needed approval from top union leaders and details still could be changed, the source said. It also must be ratified by the rank-and-file. Talks stretched into the early morning hours as workers continued to picket at GM plants. The source said bargainers have agreed on the elements of a deal. The agreement, according to the source, includes GM's top priority in the negotiations _ shifting most of its $51 billion unfunded retiree health care obligation to a UAW-run trust. The company would pay about 70 per cent of the obligation into the trust, called a Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association, or VEBA. Payments into the trust are very complex, and the UAW and GM may disagree over the percentage even though they agree on the terms. The union would then invest the money and take over the health care responsibility for about 340,000 GM hourly retirees and spouses. Because GM's pension fund has more money than its expected obligations, both sides agreed to tap into it to fund the trust, the source said. Retirees would get a pension increase, but it would be offset by an equal increase in health care contributions. Wages would stay the same for the length of the four-year deal, but workers would be given a bonus or lump sum payments every year. The size of the payments was not immediately available. GM made no specific commitments to build cars and trucks at U.S. factories, but generally agreed that with the reduced costs from the new contract, investment in the plants would make good business sense. The pact also includes a lower wage structure for newly hired workers in certain non-manufacturing jobs the source said, adding that in order to make way for the new hires, GM would offer early retirement and buyout packages to workers now in the positions. The deal also includes language that mitigates the impact of the jobs bank, in which the company pays laid-off workers most of their salary and benefits, said the source, who did not know the specifics.
