GM union workers ratify UAW deal following contentious vote

DETROIT – A record deal between the United Auto Workers and General Motors has been ratified by a majority of workers, according to voting results posted Thursday morning by the union.

Much like the negotiations themselves, voting was not as smooth as many thought it would be, specifically at GM. A majority of the Detroit automaker’s large assembly plants rejected the pact, however it wasn’t enough to offset support at smaller facilities and a handful of other assembly plants.
