General Motors has reached a tentative deal with the United Auto Workers union to end a six-week strike that also hit Ford and Stellantis, in what was the first co-ordinated walkout by workers at the three largest US carmakers.
GM agreed to increase hourly pay by 25 per cent, according to people familiar with the matter. The four-year deal also includes higher cost-of-living allowances, the people added.

GM declined to comment.
Hours after announcing a deal with Stellantis, the UAW escalated its action against GM over the weekend, hitting its plant at Spring Hill, Tennessee.
