HER HOME.
HER HOME. A WOMAN IN MIDTOWN HAS A WARNING
FOR OTHERS AFTER SURVIVING A
TERRIBLE ATTACK.
TERRIBLE ATTACK. >> Jason: UAW GM WORKERS STILL
ON STRIKE AND ANXIOUS TO LEARN
WHAT’S IN THE TENTATIVE DEAL.
THE CRUCIAL MOMENT COMES
TOMORROW MORNING.
TOMORROW MORNING. THE UNION AND THE AUTOMAKER
CONFIRMING THIS MORNING THEY
THINK THEY HAVE A DEAL.
>> Kim: BUT WE’RE STILL A FEW
HOURS FROM THE FIRST BIG TEST.
FOR NOW, THE PICKETING
CONTINUES.
CONTINUES. HERE’S A PICTURE OF WHAT WE’RE
GETTING FROM THE AGREEMENT.
GM WILL INVEST BILLIONS MORE
INTO PLANTS.
INTO PLANTS. WORKERS GET BETTER HEALTH CARE
COVERAGE AND THERE’S A QUICKER
PATH TO TOP PAY.
FOR TEMPORARY WORKERS, A
THREE-YEAR PATH TO FULL-TIME.
>> Jason: UAW MEMBERS CAN EXPECT
RAISES AND SIGNING BONUSES AND
PRODUCTS FOR TWO UNALLOCATED
PLANTS: DETROIT HAMTRAMCK AND
LORDSTOWN.
LORDSTOWN. BUT IS IT WORTHY OF SENDING DOWN
TO THE RANK AND FILE FOR
RATIFICATION?
RATIFICATION? >> Kim: THAT WILL BE SORTED OUT
IN AN IMPORTANT MEETING TOMORROW
MORNING.
MORNING. ROD MELONI HAS BEEN SPEAKING
WITH SOMEONE WHO WILL BE THERE.
ROD?
ROD? >> Rod: ACTUALLY SEVERAL
SOMEONES, KIM.
SOMEONES, KIM. AND AS WE SPEAK, THERE ARE ABOUT
200 GM UAW UNION OFFICIALS, SHOT
COMMITTEE CHAIR PEOPLE, UAW
PRESIDENTS JETTING TO OR DRIVING

MEETING.
MEETING. ♪[SINGING]♪
♪[SINGING]♪ >> Rod: THE HIGH OCTOBER WINDS
AND CHILL DID NOTHING TO DAMPEN
SPIRITS OUTSIDE GM’S YPSILANTI
SERVICE PARTS OPERATIONS.
AND WHEN THE NEWS CAME MINUTES
BEFORE NOONTIME, LOCAL 174 SHOP
COMMITTEE CHAIR TOLD US HE WAS
HAPPY YET AT THE SAME TIME
GUARDEDLY OPTIMISTIC.
GUARDEDLY OPTIMISTIC. >> THE LEADERSHIP OF THE UAW
WOULDN’T HAVE ACCEPTED A BAD
AGREEMENT, SO IT SOUNDS GREAT TO
ME.
ME. WE’RE READY TO GO BACK TO WORK
BUT ONLY WITH A NEW AGREEMENT.
>> Rod: HE WANTS TO HEAR IT FROM
THE HORSE’S MOUTH AND WILL BE
READY TO VOTE TOMORROW.
>> WE HAVE GOOD HONEST
DISCUSSION AND DEBATE AND
DISCUSS IT AND DETERMINE IF
WE’LL GO BACK TO WORK OR NOT.
>> Rod: THAT’S THE LARGEST
CONCERN FROM THE BEGINNING,
THERE ARE VERY HIGH EXPECTATIONS
ON THE PICKET LINE ABOUT THIS
CONTRACT AND MEETING THE
EXPECTATIONS HAD BEEN VERY
DIFFICULT WHICH PROLONGED THIS
MONTH-LONG STRIKE.
MONTH-LONG STRIKE. THIS WILL LIKELY CARRY ON FOR
ABOUT A WEEK LONGER BECAUSE THE
SUBCOMMITTEE VOTED TO KEEP THEM
ON THE PICKET LINE UNTIL THE
RATIFICATION IS COMPLETE WAY
BACK WHEN IT STARTED.
>> MY MEMBERSHIP WANTS TO HOLD
TO THAT.
TO THAT. SO MY VOICE WILL BE LET’S WAIT
UNTIL AFTER RATIFICATION TO
RETURN TO WORK.
>> Rod: I SPOKE TO ANOTHER LOCAL
PRESIDENT WHO WE WILL NOT NAME.
HE SAID HIS MEASURE OF A GOOD
CONTRACT WOULD BE GROWTH IN UAW
EMPLOYMENT.
EMPLOYMENT. IN OTHER WORDS, HE SAID IN THE
LAST FOUR YEARS, THERE HAS BEEN
A DECIDED DECLINE, EVEN IN JUST
GM UAW EMPLOYMENT AND HE WANTS
TO SEE A CONTRACT THAT RAMPS IT
UP BECAUSE WITHOUT IT, THERE’S
NO FUTURE FOR THE UNION.
>> Kim: SO IF THE SUBCOMMITTEE
APPROVES THE DEAL, WHAT DOES THE
RATIFICATION LOOK LIKE?
>> Rod: IT USUALLY TAKES TWO
WEEKS BUT THEY’LL HAVE TO TRAN
TRAN -- TRUNCATE THAT AND MAKE
IT GO QUICKER.
THEY’LL GET EDUCATED ON THE
CONTRACT AND THEN VOTE AS TO
WHETHER THEY LIKE THAT AND IT’S
SENT OVER TO THE UAW IN DETROIT
AND THEY COUNT THOSE VOTES.
IF IT IS A 51% YES, THEN IT’S
BACK TO WORK.
BUT IT CAN TAKE UP TO TWO WEEKS
EVEN AFTER THE WORKERS GET BACK
TO WORK TO GET THE COMPANY UP TO
FULL PRODUCTION.
FULL PRODUCTION. >> Kim: WE’LL STAY ON TOP OF IT.
>> Jason: UNTIL THAT HAPPENS,
WORKERS WILL BE ON THE PICKET
LINES.
LINES. THEY’VE BEEN WALKING FOR THE
LONGEST TIME SINCE THE ’70s.
THEY’RE ANXIOUS TO KNOW WHAT’S
IN THE DEAL.
>> Kim: MARA, IT’S BEEN 2 1/2
PAY PERIODS WITH JUST STRIKE
PAY, RIGHT?
PAY, RIGHT? >> Mara: THAT’S RIGHT.
IF YOU TALK TO THE MORE SENIOR
WORKERS, THEY’LL TELL YOU THEY
EXPECTED THIS TRIKE WOULD LAST
LONG.
LONG. THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE IN FOR.
AND THEY’RE HOPING THAT WHAT
THEIR NEGOTIATORS HAVE COME UP
WITH IS SOMETHING WORTH HAVING.
COLD AND RAINY, A GOOD DAY FOR
THE WORKERS WALKING THE LINE TO
HEAR THERE’S A DEAL ON THE
TABLE.
TABLE. >> YEAH, I’M EXCITED THAT WE
HAVE A T. A. RIGHT NOW.
I’M ANXIOUS TO SEE WHAT’S IN IT.
I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING
BACK TO WORK.
>> Mara: WORKERS WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT RAISES WHETHER IT’S
STREAMLINED FOR NEWER AND
TEMPORARY WORKERS AND WEATHER
THEY GET TO KEEP THE GOLD STAR
HEALTH COVERAGE WITHOUT
INCREASES.
INCREASES. >> WE DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
WE HOPE IT’S GOOD FOR US AND THE
COMPANY.
COMPANY. WE’LL FIND OUT.
ALL OF THE UNION REPS WILL BE
DOWN HERE TOMORROW.
>> Mara: THE FEELING IS THEY
WOULDN’T HAVE HELD OUT THIS LONG
WITHOUT COMING BACK WITH
SOMETHING WORTH RATIFYING.
>> I BELIEVE IN OUR UNION AND I
BELIEVE IN AMERICA.
I BELIEVE IN ALL THE GOOD THINGS
THAT WE HAVE COMING.
>> Mara: SO ALL EYES ON
TOMORROW.
TOMORROW. ALL THE RANK AND FILE WANTS TO
SEE WHAT THAT VOTE IS GONNA LOOK
LIKE AND WHETHER IT’S GOING TO
GO TO THEIR UNION HALLS UNTIL
THEY GET A LOOK AT IT AND MAKE A
DECISION.
