UAW president optimistic union can quickly reach contract deal with GM, LG JV By Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – United Auto Workers (UAW) President Ray Curry said Monday he is optimistic the union can quickly reach a contract deal with a General Motors (NYSE:), LG Energy Solution battery cell joint venture factory.

Last week, workers at the Ultium Cells LLC plant northeast Ohio overwhelmingly voted to join the UAW, a big win for the union seeking to organize the growing electric vehicle supply chain sector.
