CAW workers at GM-Suzuki plant OK new contract

Nearly two-thirds of union workers at a Canadian auto plant jointly owned by General Motors Co. and Suzuki have approved a new contract that would freeze wages and pensions, trim benefits, introduce a monthly health care contribution and reduce break times, The Detroit News reported.
However, the new contract at the CAMI Automotive Inc. assembly plant puts base wages on par with General Motors for the first time ever. The agreement also provides for the production of a new model to replace the Chevrolet Equinox and the GMC Terrain in 2014, a crucial element, Canadian Auto Workers President Ken Lewenza said in a statement Sunday and the News reported.
Canadian Auto Workers Local 88 members approved changes that make their new three-year agreement similar to those reached at both Chrysler and General Motors earlier this spring. Much of the agreement will be effective in September 2010, when the existing contract expires, the paper said. (The Detroit News)
