Unionized workers at a General Motors joint-venture electric vehicle battery plant in Ohio will see pay raises while they continue to negotiate a contract.
FILE - The Ultium Cell factory is seen, July 7, 2023, in Warren, Ohio. Unionized workers at the General Motors joint venture electric vehicle battery plant in Ohio will see pay raises while they continue to negotiate a contract, if they ratify an interim deal announced Thursday, Aug. 24. – Unionized workers at a General Motors joint venture electric vehicle battery plant in Ohio will see pay raises while they continue to negotiate a contract, if they ratify an interim deal announced Thursday.
Ultium Cells said the average increase is 25%, and it would be effective on Aug. 28. Since it's retroactive, workers would get $3,000 to $7,000 as well, based on the hours they have worked. UAW Vice President Mike Booth said the interim deal is still far short of what the workers should get given the skill level needed to do the jobs.“Providing this wage increase is the right thing to do for our team members, all of whom contribute so much to Ultium Cells’ growth and success,” Ultium Cells said. “This is just a first step. We continue to bargain in good faith with the UAW to reach a comprehensive contract for our employees, including a final wage scale.
It's pushing for workers to make top union assembly plant wages of $32 per hour. All but one of the plants are joint ventures with South Korean battery makers.
