Tentative agreement between the local union leaders and General Motors

The executive board of General Motors announced that they endorsed a tentative agreement with the local union leaders.
According to a summary of the agreement provide by the UAW, United Auto Workers, the agreement provides for a new independent structure which regulates the social security of all employees. The social security consists of a system to pay out an amount of money for retiree, health and care. It would also offer a number of promises for the future active workers.
GM is happy with the result, all employees have started with work again after several days of strike.
The agreement still is a subject to a vote of GM’s UAW members.

I believe that the agreement is a good solution for the employees in America. They don’t have a system like we all know, they have to pay for everything they want in life, even social security. Now days, everything becomes more expensive, prices of health insurance and retiree funds are increasing. If they have to pay all the insurances which are necessary, the employees never have enough money for living. I believe that when the employees can trust on a social security paid during the number of years service, they will be floated to work even harder.

I also think that it would be better that general moters works with a social security. But I also read that when general moters would sign the agreement the employees will have to give in a piece of their salaries. So I don’t think it will be easy to decide.
