The United Auto Workers union's tentative contract deal with General Motors contains significant steps toward one of UAW President Shawn Fain's top goals: Ending wage "tiers" that divided UAW-GM workers into upper and lower pay classes. The tentative 4-1/2 year deal will pull more than 7,000 UAW workers in GM component plants, service parts warehouses and what GM calls "subsystems" operations up to the higher wage levels paid to assembly plant workers. The contract will largely unwind a strategy the automaker has used for years to hold down labor costs, UAW officials have said.
