GM IUE-CWA retirees will be getting a belated Christmas bonus, thanks to pressure from the union and the retirees. GM withheld that bonus because a new contract had not yet been resolved. IUE-CWA President Jim Clark says retirees should not be held hostage to the collective bargaining process for active workers. The $700 bonuses will be paid by March 17th.
