Governor Whitmer on UAW Reaching Tentative Agreement with GM  

LANSING, Mich. – Today, Governor Gretchen Whitmer released the following statement after the United Auto Workers (UAW) agreed to a tentative agreement with General Motors (GM).   

“Congratulations to the world-class autoworkers of the UAW and world-leading automaker GM for reaching a deal.  

“This agreement supports the hardworking men and women of the UAW and ensures that GM can continue to grow and expand right here in Michigan, where they were established over a century ago.  

“I urge swift ratification of this deal so we can keep competing with other states and nations to lead the future of mobility.  

“I applaud the UAW for standing up for working families and taking action to help us build a stronger middle class in Michigan. Let’s keep showing everyone how we can build the next generation of cars and trucks while supporting workers.
