Interview with Warren Davis,
After their first strike against General Motors in 37 years, the United Auto Workers and GM reached a tentative agreement that included a major shift in the responsibility for retiree's healthcare benefits and a two-tier wage structure for workers. The agreement, which still needs to be ratified by the union's membership, will likely serve as a model for future negotiations with Ford and Chrysler. Although workers are aware that America's big three automakers lost more than $16 billion in 2006, concessions negotiated by UAW President Ron Gettelfinger have caused great concern among the rank and file. Opposition has been voiced against the agreement's wage structure that puts new workers on a lower pay scale and the establishment of a UAW-run Volunteer Employee Beneficiary Association, or VEBA, that shifts $51 billion in potential healthcare liability off GM's books. GM will only contribute about 70 percent, or $36 billion of what the company had pledged for retiree healthcare coverage. In an open letter to Ron Gettelfinger and the union's contract negotiators, three former members of the UAW International Executive Board criticized the process that led to the concessions and warned that the establishment of the VEBA would undo decades of hard-won healthcare benefit protections. A VEBA set up by the UAW for Caterpillar employees in 1998 collapsed in 2004, leaving retirees to pay for promised health insurance. Between the Lines' Scott Harris spoke with Warren Davis, one of the signatories of the letter, who served for 19 years as a regional director of the UAW. He explains why he and other union dissidents are opposed to the deal struck between the UAW and General Motors.
