GM (GM) and the UAW are getting close to a contract according to news from The Wall Street Journal and several other sources. WSJ.com comments that the parties have moved "toward a historic deal that would include a multi-billion-dollar independent trust fund to manage retiree health-care costs for hundreds of thousands of Detroit autoworkers."
