GM holds out; UAW blinked on health costs with Chrysler

Reuters reports: “GM, Union Still Talking.”

It’s interesting that GM, the holdout of the Big Three (Ford and Chrysler now have new contracts), is also the only one reporting profits, according to this story.

Also, “the Chrysler deal also calls for a doubling of blue-collar co-payments for prescription drugs, to about $10.50.” (UAW had insisted they would hold the line on employee out-of-pocket health costs).

$10.50 sounds fantastic to me: I pay $30 for non-generic approved Rx.
