Much to my pleasant surprise the UAW and GM have reached a tentative agreement on their labor talks and are encouraging members to go back to work immediately.

It seems the union lost out on the health care benefits for the retirees, though:

A person briefed on the contract told The Associated Press earlier that the agreement would shift the burden of retiree health care from GM to the union and give workers bonuses and lump-sum payments. The person requested anonymity because the contract talks are private.

That puts a heavy burden on the union, but they can always raise the dues.
