How much more will GM have to contribute to the settlement this year and 3 yrs from now to settle the next contract strike

Now how long will they keep up the walkout in Fairfax just to make it appear that the strike there was purely over "local" issues.

What did AAM really gain from this fiasco. Giving buydowns over three years of $90-$105K equates to about $15-$17 per hour. So, if a workers wage gets knocked down to $14 from $26 per hr, add the buydown to his new $14 rate and the worker is effectively making more per hr. over the next 3 yrs. Is this the new math taught in schools during the 80's finally making it's impact
