And then there were three … contracts.

The UAW and General Motors announced on Monday that they had reached a tentative agreement on a new contract that will run through 2028.

GM was the last of the Detroit Three automakers to complete negotiations with the union, which had expanded its strike against GM to an assembly plant in Tennessee over the weekend.

The contract includes a 25% raise over its course and covers workers at GM’s new Ultium electric vehicle battery plants.

“GM is pleased to have reached a tentative agreement with the UAW that reflects the contributions of the team while enabling us to continue to invest in our future and provide good jobs in the U.S.,” said GM Chair and CEO Mary Barra. “We are looking forward to having everyone back to work across all of our operations, delivering great products for our customers, and winning as one team.”

The UAW announced a deal with Ford last Wednesday that was followed by one with Stellantis on Saturday.

GM will begin bringing UAW workers back on the job at several factories that were struck and led to approximately $1 billion in lost production over the past six and a half weeks.
