Striking GM Workers Stay On Picket Lines Despite Tentative Contract Agreement

Detroit (AP) Striking General Motors workers will stay on the picket lines for several more days until they vote on a tentative contract agreement with the company.

Factory-level officials from the United Auto Workers union voted to recommend the agreement to members at a daylong meeting in Detroit Thursday. But they also voted not to return to factories unless members approve the deal.

About 49,000 workers have been on strike for more than a month, paralyzing GM’s U.S. factories and costing the company an estimated $2 billion.  Thousands work at the GM plant in Arlington.
