The United Auto Workers union's tentative contract deal with General Motors contains significant steps toward one of UAW President Shawn Fain's top goals: Ending wage 'tiers' that divided UAW-GM workers into upper and lower pay classes.

Fain and UAW Vice President Mike Booth are expected to provide more details of the agreement with GM on Saturday at noon ET . Eliminating tiers of lower-paid UAW workers at the Detroit Three was a top priority for Fain and UAW bargainers. Fain and UAW members would often wear red t-shirts printed with the slogan "End Tiers" at rallies and on picket lines.
In addition, the UAW-GM agreement will bring GM's Ultium LLC joint venture battery factories in the U.S. under the UAW's master agreement with the automaker. Workers furloughed when GM closed and sold its Lordstown, Ohio, small car assembly plant will have rights to jobs at Ultium's Lordstown battery plant under an agreement that allows them to earn GM wage rates, a person familiar with the agreement said.
