SAGINAW, Mich. -- A Saginaw union local has ratified its labor deal with a local parts manufacturer.

Although the exact numbers are not being released, TV5 has learned 60 percent of rank and file members of UAW Local 699 have voted in favor of the new contract with Steering Solutions.

The final agreement includes retraining money for skilled trades.

The deal would also create a so-called “flex force” which would allow employees to work in more than one classification.

As a result, work that had been farmed out to companies outside General Motors will be returning to Steering Solutions.

Meanwhile, voting was to wrap up Friday at a Lansing-area General Motors plant.

The UAW reached a tentative agreement with management at the Delta Township plant, which makes GM’s Buick Enclave, Saturn Outlook and GMC Arcadia.

More than 3,300 workers had been on strike for more than a month.

The deal came about after GM announced it was cutting health care benefits for the striking workers.

Results of the vote are not yet available.
