GM is the first auto maker to begin negotiations with the UAW on a new three-year labor pact covering about 330,000 active and laid-off workers at the world’s largest auto maker. The Big Three auto makers will be negotiating pacts covering 500,000 active and laid-off UAW members. Current national agreements are set to expire Sept. 14.
