The U.A.W. won G.M.'s pledge to narrow differentials in wages between workers doing the same job in different G.M. plants, which, the U.A.W. says, now range up to 27? an hour. G.M.'s top bargainer, Louis G. Seaton, beat down a U.A.W. demand for a bigger boost in short-week benefits than it got from Ford, i.e., maximum supplemental pay of $30 a week...
