GM Gets Lordstown Deal

05/06/2008 07:11:13

LORDSTOWN, Ohio (AP) -- General Motors Corp. employees at a stamping plant in northeast Ohio have reached a tentative contract.

Members of United Auto Workers Local 1714 will vote on the deal Thursday. Local 1714 represents about 1,000 workers at Lordstown's stamping plant just north of Youngstown.

Local 1714 president Dave Green says the union was able reach a deal without a strike because it has a good working relationship with GM.    UAW Local 1112 president Jim Graham says workers on the vehicle production side of the plant are expected to soon reach a tentative contract with GM.

GM also is still negotiating with the UAW local in Mansfield, about 60 miles north of Columbus.

About 2,500 UAW members at a plant in Kansas City went on strike Monday morning, endangering production of the Chevrolet Malibu.
