UAW-GM strike: UAW VP Terry Dittes releases Solidarity Sunday video thanking workers

DETROIT – United Automobile Workers Vice President Terry Dittes released a video Sunday thanking workers as the UAW-GM strike continues.

Watch the video above.

Sunday marks day 28 of the UAW strike against General Motors.

Dittes also provided an update on the strike, including a strike pay raise that went into effect Sunday. Striking workers will now get $275 a week. They were getting $250 before the vote.

There has not been a response to the latest counterproposal the union sent to GM. This is not the first time a counterproposal has been offered.

The counterproposal sent a strong signal that a tentative agreement between the union and automaker is close and could happen any day. In a letter to membership Friday, the union stated that if GM accepts the proposal, they will reach a tentative agreement.

It is not clear when GM will respond to the proposal, but union officials say they will be working through the weekend.
