Early signs point towards passage, based on the returns from local unions that have already voted. There are "still some big units" left to vote, "but it looks okay right now," UAW spokesman Brian Rothenberg said. An announcement of the final vote is expected after 2000 GMT. A GM spokesman said the company would await the official vote announcement before commenting. Once the GM situation is resolved, the UAW will turn its attention to negotiating labor contracts with Ford and Fiat Chrysler.
