MEXICO CITY, April 29 ― General Motors made “important progress” in wage negotiations with a new independent union representing several thousand workers at a GM plant in central Mexico, the auto giant told Reuters yesterday.
The pay negotiations are part of a high-profile test case for a new trade deal that seeks to close the vast gap between US and Mexican wages. If SINTTIA lands a big raise for the workers in the central Mexican city of Silao, the victory could usher in similar demands at other companies, experts say. GM yesterday did not address which wage proposals were under discussion. It said talks would continue on May 5 in an effort to reach a deal quickly.
