GM to pay bonus



General Motors Corp. will pay union workers and retirees an $800 bonus next month, UAW President Ron Gettelfinger said Tuesday.

Word of the payout came during an online chat Gettelfinger conducted via the UAW Web site. A GM retiree asked if a bonus would be paid.
"Yes, $800," Gettelfinger said.

GM spokesman Dan Flores said the UAW agreed to a bonus in lieu of an increase in workers' base pay during contract negotiations in 2003.
