Top UAW officials from across the country will meet in Detroit on Wednesday to consider key concessions in hopes of helping Detroit's automakers gain congressional approval of $25 billion in federal loans.
Automakers must submit plans to Congress today to show how they will use the loans. Ford Motor Co. planned to give Congress a clear picture of future, more-efficient models and General Motors Corp. readied a blueprint for cuts across the board.
UAW officials from Ford, GM and Chrysler LLC will meet Wednesday and later break off into meetings of representatives of the individual automakers.
One UAW local official who plans to attend expects the issues considered to include eliminating the jobs bank and further concessions in the way automakers fund the retiree health care trust.
