Tier Two Wages, Benefits, Bonuses on Table at GM-UAW Talks
The photo op is easy. There are many tough issues to be resolved by the expiration of the current 4-year GM-UAW contract at midnight on September 14. With annual vehicle sales tracking above 17 million, and with strong profits at the Detroit Three there could be many potholes along the road to an agreement.

UAW Reaches Agreement with GM. Members Vote This Week
The real contract to watch is the now expired and unresolved one at Ford Motor where the UAW can strike, since Ford did not except bailout funds and hence the requisite no strike provision for a bailout, although Ford did accept billions in other taxpayer subsidies and handouts during the beginning years of the Obama Administration.
