The United Auto Workers Union has reached a tentative deal in contract talks with General Motors. The details have not been released yet but the UAW president says it includes a landmark health-care deal. UAW officials say production at GM facilities is set to start today.

The effects of the two-day strike were felt here in Rochester. About 200 temporary layoffs were announced yesterday at the Delphi plant on Lexington Avenue. Delphi makes parts for GM cars.

Over 70,000 union workers for GM walked off the job Monday. The agreement is expected to be ratified by GM workers this week.
