UAW VP: Record GM Profit Shows Contract Strategy Of Shared Success Paid Off | MLive.com

UAW Pleased With GM Profits

The United Auto Workers union and General Motors Co. are maintaining a unified front in wake of the company announcing its highest profit in history, as well as up to $7,000 profit-sharing check to union members.

Both organizations, which entered into a new four-year contract this year, are pleased with the Detroit-based automaker’s $7.6 billion profit for 2011, but say there is more work to be done.

"The UAW played a key role in GM’s comeback story and the game has really just begun," UAW Vice President Joe Ashton said in a statement Thursday night. "Through collective teamwork and continuous improvement, we will strengthen our position in the industry and help ensure the company’s long-term success."
