...United Auto Workers (UAW), the union that represents 73,000 of GM's employees and nearly 270,000 retirees. The company wants to fund a health-care trust, administered by the UAW, to pay for retirees' medical needs. The union's old contract expired Sept. 14, and the creation of that trust has emerged as the principal stumbling block to a new one.
