Saturn Labor Pact Could Stand in Way of Second Plant: Saturn Corp.’s quest for a second car assembly plant could run into serious problems unless the General Motors Corp. unit modifies its Japanese-style labor agreement, a top United Auto Workers official said. GM has said it expects to decide by February whether to add another assembly “module” to boost production of the popular small car. UAW Vice President Stephen Yokich said he opposes using the current Saturn labor contract at a second plant, because it is causing problems at Saturn’s Spring Hill, Tenn., complex. He also said he would press GM to put Saturn production in an existing GM facility.
