REUTERS/Bryan Woolston UAW officials and striking workers on the picket lines had said their focus in the dispute with GM was on jobs, pay equity and fairness for workers who made concessions in 2009 to help GM through its government-led bankruptcy. They also wanted to save factories in Ohio and Michigan GM had threatened to close.
This year’s talks - also occurring with Ford Motor Co and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles - have been overshadowed by a widening federal investigation into corruption at the union. The following is a timeline of events leading up to the tentative agreement, which still must be approved by the workers:GM announced the No. 1 U.S. automaker’s biggest restructuring since its 2009 bankruptcy, putting five North American plants on notice for potential closure and saying it would cut nearly 15,000 jobs.U.S. President Donald Trump demanded that GM save the Lordstown, Ohio, assembly plant that was targeted.
