When United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain announced on October 30 that the union had reached a contract deal with General Motors, he praised the workers for their relentless fight.
"The result is one of the most stunning contract victories since the sit-down strikes in the 1930s," Fain told workers.
But not all rank-and-file workers were convinced.
Their dissatisfaction has been on full display as they've gone to their union halls to vote on whether to ratify the deal — a deal that includes raises of 25%, cost-of-living allowances tied to inflation, increased retirement contributions and other improvements.
